Electile Dysfunction (Current students plz look!)

Companies (especially Walmart) rarely do stuff out of the good of their hearts.  I'd love to know how many backroom conversations with corporate lawyers were had there and probably at other big retailers who sell guns right now.   Ie. I'm wondering if the long term risk of corporate liability is greater than the perceived profit they'll get from firearms and ammo.

I'm sure this was a business decision that someone said, "oh, hey, we can turn this into a PR move without affecting our current base".

Yeah - it was probably something similar to CVS' decision a ways back to get rid of tobacco. It will hurt a little in the short-termish but they stand to win out in the end.

Also - pretty sure Wal-Mart is commonly referred to as one of the world's largest gun retailers.
