Common sense won the day at Walmart HQ when a few overly-fearful execs decided to yank guns and ammo off the Wally World shelves leading up to the election. Oct. 30 (UPI) -- Walmart said Friday it's returning guns and ammunition to the shelves of its stores, one day after pulling the products over fears of store break-ins and thefts during potential civic unrest. Walmart spokesman Kory Lundberg said the big box store reversed its decision to move the products after determining the threat wasn't as widespread as it initially feared. "After civil unrest earlier this week resulted in damage to several of our stores, consistent with actions we took over the summer, we asked stores to move firearms and ammunition from the sales floor to a secure location in the back of the store in an abundance of caution," he said in a statement. "As the current incidents have remained geographically isolated, we have made the decision to begin returning these products to the sales floor today."

These people must all have MBAs." Gun owners already know the company plans to stop selling .223 ammo, common to the same "modern sporting rifles" they already discontinued.
