Good, if this is the natural devolution of big box stores back to local stores I’m all for it. PIss on Walmart, bet they won’t stop selling beer and cigarettes, which kill thousands more people every year than anything else they sell.

You make a good point, but for many folks (like myself) there is no such thing anymore as a "local store." In my case, there is no other store in town selling ammo. I'll have to drive 30 miles into AR to the nearest Atwoods or 55 miles to S'port/Bossier. The fact the WM will no longer sell ammo will be an inconvenience and will result in me buying more ammo online (watch for the "free shipping if you buy more than $50 that Midway offers a couple times a month). Believe me, I was already NOT a fan of WM and this doesn't help that at all.

I've hand loaded my ammo for many years so that the only ammo I bought at WM was handgun ammo and 22LR. I've not seen the actual press release so I don't know the answer: Is WM also going to stop selling 22LR ammo? After all, the 22LR is also a "short-barrel rifle ammunition...that can be used on assault-style weapons..."
