WalMart Suspends Ammo Orders Pending Gun Control Decision

WalMart reportedly has stopped selling ammunition ahead of the Obama administration’s anticipated gun control recommendations to Congress -- and uncertainty over what new laws may be coming.

According to the Investment Watch blog, WalMart Corporation will no longer place new ammunition orders pending “the upcoming decision on the Second Amendment.”

A customer stood with a WalMart employee as a call was made to the corporate office.

WalMart headquarters told the employee the following:

“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. 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.”

Investment Watch blog does not provide a link to a WalMart statement but urges customers to contact the corporate headquarters at 1-800-925-6278 to confirm the decision.

Hmm, not buying this.. yet.

CNS is linking an investment blog as it's source. That blog is basing it's story off a phone call to a customer service rep. A customer service rep isn't exactly a great source.

The audio they provided is also edited. Can anyone be sure if its validity? The original source is here: http://investmentwatchblog.com/break...any-more-ammo/

Still, something to keep an eye on.

I have been trying to find some out west here all day, and they are all sold out.

Just called the number listed and word for word was told "walmart will no longer be selling ammunition"

I told the rep that was pretty disappointing and he referenced the "recent events".

Walmarts around here have hand basically NO ammo for the last three weeks. I usually grab a couple of boxes of 22lr to take to a buddy's farm when I head over there, but the shelves have been bare the last four times I stopped by there. I guess it is a good thing I have been saving my own ammo.
