Did they stop selling .223 (assault bullets)?

They're selling through their current stock. Which, if they were serious they would just dump them. But they're not. Just company virtue signaling.
There's no such thing as"assault" bullets as far as I know.
I've taken a breather from Walfart for the time being. -

They continue losing market share to Amazon and online retailers who do not ban their shoppers from open carrying!

Just another reason to stay out of there. I feel sorry for people in small towns who have little choice but to shop there.Comment

If you believe in the 2ND Amendment, you had better start voting with your pocket book. If not, a lot of retailers are going to join forces with Walmart and then there will be no need for Congressional action. You won't be able to buy anything anywhere anyway, that is related to firearms and ammo, or the ones that do sell it will jack the price up so high no one can afford it. Supply and Demand!
I have been a solid Walmart customer every since they opened the store near my house. I will never buy from them again and I sent them and e-mail telling them why. I suggest you do the same. Both Kroger and Walgreens have already semi-joined ranks with Walmart by banning open carry. I never thought open carry was a good idea anyway, but if it is within the law, then it should be allowed.
Walmart could have quietly just stopped stocking whatever they think "short barrelled ammo" is but they instead chose to make a Politically Correct Press release. I hope it backfires on them. If it does not, We The People could get our rights removed in a heartbeat.
Walmart has no clue about who we are. They know a lot about our MONEY.

I sent them an e-mail too and got a response back stating that "Walmart is committed to making the world a better place." I interpret that to mean a world without gun owners like me. No, I won't grace that place ever again.Originally posted by Wayne Meuir View Post

Ran across this dated Sept 3rd concerning Walmart Policies and Guidelines for Ammo and Firearms. For what it's worth...
Firearms and Ammunition Guidelines
Walmart has a long heritage as a company of serving hunters and sportsmen and women. Our focus has always been to do so responsibly, including taking many measures that go beyond what’s required by law.
Where We Sell Firearms and Ammunition
Walmart sells firearms in approximately half of our U.S. supercenter stores. While we are not the largest volume firearms seller in the United States, we do serve many areas of the country where there is a concentration of hunters and sportsmen/women.
Items We Sell
Walmart sells long guns for hunting and sport shooting, including shotguns, single-shot hunting rifles and light sporting rifles, as well as BB and pellet guns.
Items We Don’t Sell
Walmart does not sell military-style rifles, such as the AR-15, or any type of AR-15 accessory, including bump stocks and high-capacity magazines. These items are also listed on our prohibited items list for online marketplace sellers. We have a process to monitor our eCommerce marketplace and help ensure our policies are applied.
As of September 2019, we have discontinued the sale of:
handguns, which were previously sold only in our Alaska stores
ammunition for handguns
ammunition for short-barrel rifles such as the .223 caliber and 5.56 caliber that, while commonly used in some hunting rifles, can also be used in large-capacity clips on military-style weapons
ammunition like the .300 Blackout, 7.62x.39 and .224 Valkyrie
Who Can Buy Firearms and Ammunition at Walmart
In February 2018, we announced our decision to sell firearms and ammunition only to individuals who are 21 and older.
Walmart only sells a firearm after receiving a “green light” on a background check. This goes beyond federal law, which only requires the absence of a “red light” after a three-business day waiting period. We require a “green light,” regardless of the time period.
Selling Firearms Responsibly
Walmart takes steps above and beyond what is required by law to sell firearms in a responsible way, including:
videotaping the point of sale for firearms;
allowing only select associates who have passed a criminal background check to sell firearms;
conducting regular associate training;
performing inventory audits; and
securing firearms in a locking case, among other important measures.
Walmart associates who are authorized to sell firearms are specifically trained on all firearm policies and procedures. Associates who fail to follow the policies and procedures are subject to discipline, up to and including termination.
Walmart is a charter member of the Responsible Firearms Retailer Partnership, organized by Walmart and Everytown for Gun Safety.
We have committed to work alongside other retailers to make the overall industry safer, including sharing our own best practices. This system navigates tens of millions of possible combinations of federal, state and local laws, regulations and licensing requirements that come into effect based on where a firearm is sold and who is purchasing. We hope that freely sharing this information will help more retailers sell firearms in a responsible, compliant manner.
Open Carry of Firearms
Motivated by our desire to create a safe environment in our stores and clubs, we request that customers no longer openly carry firearms into Walmart or Sam’s Club locations in states where open carry is permitted – unless they are authorized law enforcement. As of September 2019, we are working to create and display new signage to help communicate this policy.
We will continue to follow state and local laws regarding concealed carry permit holders.
