Wal-Mart is the ultimate two-faced, virtue-signaling, phoney-bologna organization of all retail stores, ergo they'll go back to selling handgun ammo just as soon as they stand to make a profit with as little fuss from their usual hipster, man-scaping, man-bun-sporting, stretch-pants-wearing clientele as possible.
You aren't too far from wrong, but your demeaning tone is truly misplaced.
I know this will come to a shock to many, but Wal-mart isn't in business to support the gun community, electronics community, dairy buyers, homewares, etc.. They are in business to make profits, which is the general goal of business, because without profits, businesses fail. Wal-mart has to balance out all of their business across their client base. There are many things Walmart sells, many that they have sold and no longer sell, and many that they only sell sometimes.
They sell stuff. No, they don't want to get mixed up in a bunch of controversy that will otherwise hurt their overall sales or cause them unneeded hassles.
Gun stuff is a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of what they sell. It isn't like the gun community isn't similarly fickle. I never understood how we, the gun community, can whine so much about a company, for decades now, and not get a clue that may be Walmart isn't the be all to end all go-to source for supplies. Walmart does not put our interests first, yet over and over again we seem shocked, hot and bothered by this fact.
We complain about prices, quality, selection, the knowledge base of the clerks, customer service, competition with LGS, etc., yet we keep going back. Why? I wonder if that doesn't say more about us than it does about Walmart?
