Walmart not ordering new ammo

Featured Replies

I wont be there. I'm not proud of that fact. I really want to go I just cant afford to take off of work I'm getting crushed by bills.

Yeah I know the constitution is way more important and it is. When it comes time to do my bit for God and Country I will but I dont think this (Feb 8th) is that moment.

 

dude, you must go. This could be the only shot we have at knocking this crap out. There are no excuses.

Can we see a source for this story? The link doesn't work.

 

Weird, it was working when I posted it. I'll poke around.

I wouldnt freak just yet as Im sure if this had teeth it would have been on a big time news channel CBS FOX ABC CNN etc..bot saying its not true but wait for a credible source.

Me I just think its wal mart using its muscle to keep prices down. They do it to other vendors as well so does home depot.

There telling 'em to stick it with there price increases. One vendor out there will bight and make a deal with wally world for an exclusive(majority) vending deal. They know these good times wont last.

I wouldn't be shocked if this is more an issue of supply and their system refusing orders for things they don't think they can get. Time will tell.

I've been "Against the Wal" since January 2009. I have not missed them one bit.

Walmart spokeswoman says it's not true.

The blogosphere has exploded with outrage in response to news that Walmart is suspending ammunition sales in anticipation of the Obama administration’s gun-control recommendations to Congress – but the retail giant tells WND the reports aren’t true.

 

“That information is inaccurate,” said Ashley Hardie, a spokeswoman located at Walmart’s corporate headquarters in Bentonville, Ark.

WND then asked whether the retail chain is cutting back on orders of ammunition.

 

“No,” Hardie said. “We’re continuing to serve our customers as we have in the past.”

 

She said Walmart’s ammunition sales policy has not changed, even amid talk of gun-control legislation in Washington, D.C.

 

The uproar began when the InvestmentWatch blog posted a story headlined, “Breaking & confirmed: Walmart is not going to order any more ammo.”

CNS News cited the report, and talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh mentioned it during his Monday show. CNS has since removed the report from its own site.

According to the InvestmentWatch report, a man claimed to have visited his local Walmart and noticed the store was “out of almost every kind of ammo.”

 

“The manager I talked to said they had not heard anything, but she tried to order some .223 as I was standing there. She said the order was being rejected by the corporate office. Said she had never had that happen.”

He added, “She called corporate as I was standing there. And was told this, ‘As of right now Walmart is not going to be making any new orders of ammo because of the upcoming decision on the Second Amendment.’ Said, ‘As of right now we are unsure of what new legislation might be coming, and because of this, we are suspending new orders. We will continue to sell what is already in stock in stores and at our distribution centers, but any new orders will not be shipped until the issue is resolved.’

 

“So after they run out, there will be no restocking until Obama makes his decision. How’s that change working out for you now?”

 

The InvestmentWatch posting also included an audio recording which was purportedly taken as a man called Walmart’s customer service line.

 

“I went to my local Walmart to go get some ammunition, and they said they were out,” the caller said. “I was looking for .223. Are you all still going to be selling ammunition? The lady seemed confused about whether they were going to get any more in stock.”

 

The person claiming to be a Walmart representative can be heard saying, “You know, there is going to be a new policy change, according to the federal gun control act, the new law that the president’s getting ready to enact.”

The caller then asked, “Well, you don’t have any idea what that says, do you? Is that saying you’re no longer going to carry ammunition?”

 

The man responded, “To be honest with you, I don’t know what the policy is going to be, but I know they, but I was told they’re going to be reviewing it.”

 

WND has not been able to verify whether the man on the call was, in fact, a customer service representative for Walmart

.

Meanwhile, WND reader Sam Singleton said his local Walmart in Myrtle Beach, S.C., has a very short supply of ammunition. According to Singleton, the store claimed it had received a letter from corporate headquarters on the issue.

“The clerk said they only had what was left on the shelf and that there was a ‘hard lock’ on the reorders. She said they hadn’t been getting any replenishment and that just today the store had received a letter from the corporate office stating that they would not be able to order any replenishment of ammunition, other than some for shotguns.

 

“She said they were not stocking anything that could be used in an ‘assault-type rifle.’ I said, ‘This is ammunition I use for practice,’ and she said they were just told there was a ‘hard lock’ on ammo sales.”

Another WND reader, Patrick Clemons, reported a similar experience today after he visited the Walmart in Folsom, Calif.

 

Earlier today, the CNS News report on the story had been linked by WND. Under the posting, more than 400 concerned readers had commented under the post.

The following are some of those comments:

  • If I cannot buy ammo at Walmart, my wife can do no shopping there at all. That is not arbitrary, that is the rule of my home.

  • Sounds like what happens in a dictatorship doesn’t it?

  • It saddens me to see this happen. It is clearly a first step toward a socialistic takeover of our once great nation. Buy ammo where you can and seriously consider learning to reload your own. You don’t have to stop selling weapons if there is no ammunition to fire.

  • Walmart is mainstream, and the sales of ammo there are as American as apple pie.

  • I believe Walmart was threatened.

  • If Walmart knuckles under to the administration on this, I won’t set foot in the place again. I hope Sam Walton figures the Chinese will support his enterprise.

  • TRAITORS! Ban Wally’s World.

  • Boycott Walmart, dump their stock.

  • The cowards capitulate in the face of tyranny. Remember this and spend your money accordingly.
