Help President Trump Stop Joe Biden [ACT NOW]
Retail giant Walmart has announced that it is pulling firearm and ammunition displays from its stores four days ahead of Election Day, with its executives reportedly concerned about the possibility of civil unrest.
The Daily Wire’s Tim Pearce reports:
“We have seen some isolated civil unrest and as we have done on several occasions over the last few years, we have moved our firearms and ammunition off the sales floor as a precaution for the safety of our associates and customers,” a Walmart spokesman told The Wall Street Journal.
The retail chain sent a letter on Wednesday to store managers at its 4,700 U.S. stores telling them to pull guns and ammo from store displays “due to the current unrest in isolated areas of the country and out of an abundance of caution.” The products are still available for purchase upon request, according to WSJ.
Walmart has emptied out its firearm displays numerous times in the past, citing similar issues.
Renewed rioting broke out in Philadelphia on Monday and has continued throughout the week after police fatally shot Walter Wallace Jr., a black man who was allegedly threatening officers with a knife. Numerous stores have been busted into and looted and dozens of police officers have been injured trying to contain and stop the violence.
Besides Philadelphia, violent incidents have repeatedly taken place since the summer in Democratic strongholds like Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, Louisville, and Atlanta.

They will come busy up your stores regardless. Hire yourself some well armed well trained riot personnel and game over. These thugs are brave cause you roll over with no defense. Wise Up ‼️
Exactly right!
Expected in the SHITHOLE Dem cities, but insulting in the working class suburbs. I stopped at Walmart last night Mt. Pleasant saw ZERO/long guns of ANY type or caliber along with ZERO ammo including shotgun ammo AND no reloading supplies, WTF ! I asked the three guys standing there (workers) where the guns and ammo were, It was as if I was BOTHERING them, all I got was an ARROGANT “why do you want to know” ???”We had to put them a way for a while”.
Yeah, THAT was my last trip to the Walmart sporting goods …
I would say the Walmart is a little bit late on this decision? Most of the weapons and ammo have already been purchased sometime ago!! Good move Walmart,you’re only alienating more of your customer’s!!
the NEW Young LIBERAL CEO is an IDIOT.
Walmart – Now the K-Mart of yesteryear. Have not darkened their doorstep in 5 years. Just view the People of Walmart site and see the ghetto they have become.
Smart move. If was a store owner I would along with the electronics, and any other high cost item. They will be prime targets forbthev”PEACEFUL PROTESTERS” should they find themselves inside the store.
I figured it was to keep them away from the Patriots and save them for the communist
Everybody i know is already boycotting Wall Mart and Dicks.
Since they opted not to sell hand gun Ammo, I haven’t stepped into a walmart. They get what they wish for.
A couple of previous commentor criticized Wal-Mart for this move. But, think about it. Wal-Mart doesn’t sell handguns any more, but they do sell rifles and shotguns. If locking their guns away for a few days stops criminals from stealing them, then that’s fewer guns in the hands of criminals. As I am a gun owner myself, I can understand why so many people see this as infringing on gun owners’ rights. But, I ask this to ALL other gun owners – Do you lock your guns in a secure place when those guns could be vulnerable to theft, or just leave them in easy-to-find places?
Once police are given the authority to shoot rioters/looters and a 6pm to 6 am curfew is given then almost all the looting and rioting will stop except the hard core who want to over throw our republic. They need to be arrested, if possible, and charged with sedition. If local state/city officials are not willing to do this, then Trump should declare martial law for that location and send in federal troops with live ammo given orders to shoot looters and rioter sif necessary.
BONAVAJO YA HIT THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD
