The AR-15 won't be available in Walmart stores in the near future.
From the "what took them so long" department, Walmart has announced an end to
some gun sales:
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. will stop selling military-style weapons such as the AR-15 rifle this fall, citing declining customer demand for the controversial firearms.
Wal-Mart will replace the guns with other types of rifles, as well as shotguns and other hunting merchandise, said Wal-Mart spokesman Kory Lundberg. The AR-15 model has been used in mass shootings, including at a school in Newtown, Connecticut, three years ago. But the move was a business decision based on sales and wasn’t politically motivated, Lundberg said.
It's a shame the decision was allegedly made for financial reasons. And unfortunately, they'll still sell the ammo for the AR-15.
