but then I wasn't speaking of a general boycott of everything Wal Mart sells, but specifically firearms and ammunition.
I wonder how hard those people have looked? It took me less than one minute just now to find glucose test strips for the same price that Walmart has the generic ones for. Free shipping. Walmart provides convenience for those who forgot or don't want to plan ahead. I've yet to find anything that they have the best price on.Walmart is virtually the only source for inexpensive medical supplies, like generic insulin and diabetic test strips, that some people literally can't live without. You can't expect them to honor a boycott.
I agree. Like I said in the other thread about this subject, for me it's not so much about boycotting Walmart (or other mega corporations who don't share my core beliefs) as it is about supporting businesses who I want to stay around. The money I spend at (pick your locally owned) gun store is far more significant to the gun store (or hardware store, auto parts store, etc) than the money that I don't spend at Walmart is to them.Walmart is where Middle America shops. They're too big a player for a boycott by a few activist gun owners to have any significant effect.
A temporary boycott, long enough for them to see a revenue disruption, might make a difference. On the other side, I understand what you mean. Society as a whole seems to be against us. Not trolling, I have said it before, but I am getting exhausted of trying to explain the logic of our side to a group that is louder, but refuses to understand logic, only emotions. It looks to me like we are losing, and I don't see the tide turning, when the vast majority of the media, and a good portion of our representatives, are against us.Singling one company out doesn’t seem right to me, and boycotting them all isn’t really possible.
The problem I have with a boycott (other than they don’t work) is where are you going to go?
I personally already avoid Walmart when possible, I grocery shop at the grocery store, I buy sporting goods from the sporting goods stood, etc
But their are many many things that are only sold locally at the Walmart.
But let’s widen the circle, if we really want to defund the anti’s we will need to boycott all anti gun companies, right?
So, you’re never going to the theater again, no you’re never going to watch a movie again.
For that matter you’ll never watch TV again, and you can cancel Netflix.
Can’t watch the news either, or even get any major news paper.
No Coke or Pepsi anymore either, and let’s not even get started on coffee houses. I work in the paper industry, and I’ll just say you may want to research your brand of toilet paper. I guess visiting any major city is out of the question, we know what they do with their tax money.
And it goes on and own, with more and companies intentionally going lefty political it’s going to worse, not better.
Singling one company out doesn’t seem right to me, and boycotting them all isn’t really possible.
My 2¢, which worth just what you paid for it.
Society as a whole seems to be against us.
I contacted them at their email and received a form email in reply.There's a thread regarding Walmart's decision to stop selling handgun and some rifle ammunition, as well as their decision to push for more gun control.

I contacted Walmart's corporate office (479-273-4000) this morning to let them know I'll no longer be shopping there and why, and cancelled my Sam's Club membership, letting them know why as well.
-
There are many forum members who stated that they'll no longer shop at Walmart, and I'd encourage everyone who's doing so to call them to let them know why, and to do so with any other corporation that's taking similar actions.
Walmart will do just fine with their limited ammo sales. the big question is when will the Democrats ban on-line ammo sales, and then add a large federal tax to regular mom and pop ammo sales.
Good for you pointing out that Walmart has thrown the people who helped build their fortune under the bus, but in addition to this betrayal of law-abiding citizens they have further betrayed the people of America because Walmart has wrung concessions on property taxes and zoning out of the communities they've built their stores, and profits, in. They have used our tax dollars to their profit and we should have some recourse when they set policies that are classist and sexist and prejudicial like this blocking women, minorities and lower income American from buying the resources needed to protect themselves.
Does the grocery store ammo too? Just curious because most grocery stores don't. Shouldn't we also be mad at all the retailers who don't give us what we want or do we just get pissy with the ones that used to cater to us?
There are boycotts and boycotts. Here's one for you: https://nypost.com/2019/09/02/touri...lenews&utm_medium=inline&utm_source=applenews
I predict after the initial uproar, the Walmart 'boycott' and the TX 'boycott' will amount to nothing. Not that you shouldn't write and express your position but I'm looking that the real world outcomes.
Yep, they pretty much never go anywhere.
