| 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

What can you say? Government by liberal intimidation seems to pretty well sum it up...
Guess the Obama admin was planning ahead buying - over the last few years - a few billion rounds of hollow point ammo illegal in international warfare use - prior to moving to make ammo unavailable to the public...

I was afraid of this. Just when it looked like the executive order wasn´t going to work as planned, who needs one when you can threaten and get results like this? Has it really come this far?

The gun are useless without ammunition, of course. It´s much easier to control the availability of ammo than to locate and round up the guns.

Walmart is making a good decision for a retailer- don´t get stuck with inventory if the sale of certain kinds of ammunition may be curtailed or restricted. They are continuing to sell what they have in stock, but are not ordering anymore until they see what may happen with legislation. Walmart isn´t scared, they are just good retailers.

I just informed Walmart that I am not going to take anymore orders from them until the uncertainty of their stance on the 2nd amendment is clarified.

I just called the number given and was told they did not have any information from Corporate on this. Referred me to WalMart website for updates. I checked the Corporate link at the website and didn´t see anything. She did want to know where I read about it and I told her. She also asked for my phone number, I didn´t give it to her but surely they have caller ID.

Bing search of "WalMart ammunition sales" brings up nothing... in fact, the first two hits were from the WalMart site, and it shows all the usual (including a Colt 6920), but indicates "In Stores Only", which is normal, as they don´t provide onlines sales of guns nor ammo.
There was a link to a message board about WalMart phasing out ammo sales, but that was dated 2009.
I have to wonder if this is bogus.

You have to actually read the article. Sales of ammunition has NOT changed so why would Walmart have any kind of notice on their website? They simply are not ordering any more of certain kinds of ammo and get stuck with it in inventory if laws are changed in the near future and it would be illegal to sell. Ever run a retail business?

Simple response to this: Don´t shop at Wal Mart. They´ll get the message.
Don´t forget that idiot Sam Walton Jr. was a big contributer to Obama and the democrats.
Wal Mart is going to find out the hard way that once you start giving into the communists there will be no end of it until they are out of business. Fools and traitors.

I´m not shocked at all. Wal-Mart stopped selling handguns long ago in response to another gun-control surge. I bought a rifle there once--a single-shot bolt-action .22--and thought I was never going to get out of the store. I resolved then and there to take all my gun business eleswhere.

Walmart is making what probably will be a short term decision until they know more about what may be coming up. They have been remarkably successful, so I wouldn´t be quick to second guess. A profitable business is not run on emotion, it´s run on what is best to make a profit. So right now they are being conservative with their inventory dollars till more is known about any possible legislation. They´re not going to buy a lot of what they might not be able to sell because when they buy they buy in huge volume.

I bought a youth model rifle for my daughter in 2000, when she was 11 years old, at Walmart. They did the background check, I paid for the rifle, and they escorted me out the front door as if I were a shoplifter. I was not allowed to hold the package until I was outside. Thanks, Walmart.

They escort you out to the car so nobody can say there was a straw purchase going on that they should have been aware of. Its just CYA on their part. Nobody there thinks you are a bad guy.

Bill Ayers believes President Obama gets a “failing grade” for his presidency, and should be tried for “war crimes,” along with all living presidents who have engaged in acts of “terrorism” abroad. Sitting down for an episode of RealClearPolitics’ “Morning Commute,” Ayers told host Charlie Stone that, on policy, Obama receives a “failing grade” along with the “F-minuses” he’s given previous presidents like George W. Bush and Richard Nixon. “I don’t think he’s let anybody down,” Ayers added, pointing to how during the 2008 presidential campaign then-Senator Obama consistently declared himself to be a “middle-of-the-road, pragmatic politician.”

National Security Agency Director Gen. Keith Alexander told the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday that the NSA whistleblower that leaked classified information on the agency’s surveillance program caused “irreversible and significant damage” to the nation and helped America’s enemies. “I think it was irreversible and significant damage to this nation,” Alexander said Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) asked how damaging it was “to the national security of the American people that this trust was violated.” “Has this helped America’s enemies?” Bachmann asked Alexander. “I believe it has, and I believe it will hurt us and our allies,”

John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he might lose his job as House speaker over immigration reform, but he insisted he will not bring a bill to the House floor that does not have majority support of both Republicans and Democrats. Following the Republican conference meeting on Tuesday, Boehner was asked: “Rep. Rohrabacher said that if you bring immigration reform to the floor without the support of the GOP conference you will lose your job (as speaker). Do you think that’s accurate?” “Maybe,” Boehner said after a long pause, to laughter from reporters.

Rev. Al Sharpton, host of MSNBC’s “PoliticsNation,” said Friday that Republicans are “scared,” because the party is “built on fear and obstruction.” “This is who they are. They are scared, because the party is built on fear and obstruction, and no matter how hard they try, it’s not working,” said Sharpton after reading a tweet from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) that bragged about being “Obamaphobic.” “If supporting real immigration reform, not path to citizenship is ‘Obamaphobia,’ guilty as charged.

In line with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel’s order for troops to have their workplaces searched for “degrading or offensive” materials -- part of an attempt to curb sexual assault in the military -- the Navy will inspect even its bathrooms. While what’s degrading or offensive is open to interpretation, the material can include song lyrics and “inappropriate cartoons.” In a memo sent on June 13, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus ordered that all sailors, Marines, cadets and civilian employees have their workplaces searched by June 28.

Last Friday, Organizing for Action exploited the six-month anniversary of the Newtown shooting. They mobilized their supporters for a series of anti-gun rallies across the country. In San Bernardino, that call to action was answered by three people. Ryan Hagen of the Sun, a local paper, wrote on June 14 about the failed rally. On Flag Day growing up, I used to always wave a flag with my grandson, and it hit me that the victims of that horrible tragedy won’t ever be able to do that,” said Curtis Lewis, the group’s gun violence prevention coordinator.

While unrest in Turkey continues to capture attention, more subtle and more telling events concerning the Islamification of Turkey — and not just at the hands of Prime Minister Erdogan but majorities of Turks — are quietly transpiring. These include the fact that Turkey’s Hagia Sophia museum is on its way to becoming a mosque. Why does the fate of an old building matter? Because Hagia Sophia — Greek for “Holy Wisdom” — was for some thousand years Christianity’s greatest cathedral. Built in 537 A.D. in Constantinople, the heart of the

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:

Iran is preparing to send 4,000 troops in to Syria to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the wake of America´s announcement it will be providing ´military aid´ to the country´s Muslim rebels. President Barack Obama made the pledge earlier this week after the U.S. claimed it found ´conclusive evidence´ Assad´s regime has used chemical weapons against the rebel forces--which includes the most extreme Sunni Islamists--and has called for Britain and France to back the move. While Britain hasn´t made a guarantee either way as yet, more than 350 Royal Marines are being sent to Jordan
