I got to thinking about them not selling ammo etc. That's kinda like AMOCO no longer selling fuel because someone might decide to drive drunk, or make a molotov cocktail. It's like Chevy no longer selling cars or trucks because someone might get in an accident or drive while drinking booze.
This is not about being a good corporate citizen it's about virtual signaling about how great they are. It's about not getting sued by some shyster lawyer for a family looking to make some quick, big money. In other words BOVINE SCAT!

I would say, given the litigious nature of our country and the stupidity of juries, it's not a bad idea on their part.

It is their stores, their business, they can start selling and stop selling anything they want when they want. The first lawsuit has ben filed in El Paso, their action showed that they are concerned, a good corporate move on their part. Look for other companies to follow their lead.

They have allowed the left to control their positions on right and wrong just as the left is doing it to many of you. Because a baby drowned in a 5 gallon bucket we have to make every company in the country put a circle with a baby falling into a bucket on every bucket because of some adults carelessness. Like that will fix stupid. Stopping the sale of any ammo does nothing except put a big circle on the door with a bullet on it crossed out like that should stop someone with an evil heart from shooting someone. "dang I didn't see that bullet crossed out, I better not shoot anyone." Morons leading morons down a hole that they will never climb out of. Quit caving in to this belief system, this country has become soft.

Yes, indeed and this is only the beginning of our slide into the abyss. The course has been set and now it's just a matter of time. I am often surprised at how many people don't see that they have already won. No one to blame but "We the People" because of complacency over the last 60+ years. Joe Mccarthy was right. Marc
A Democracy is when two wolves and a lamb vote on the dinner menu. That is why this country was specifically not designed as a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.

If you went to the closest 20 stores to your house, how many of them will be selling ammo? Probably very few, maybe you should also be outraged they are not onboard with selling ammo.
Our local hardware store quit selling ammo decades a go. Why, the owner told me he could not compete price wise with Walmart or KMart, said only a few loyal customers like me were buying ammo from him. They used to have guns, reloading supplies and all kind of hunting supplies, now nothing. Whose fault is that?
