Does Walmart still sell guns and ammunition?

[Bretrick]

Back in 2015 a decision was made to no longer sell Sporting Rifles, Hand Guns and AR-15s.
Did that decision stand or have they resumed selling guns and ammunition?

Hi Bretrick, not sure about the guns, but a side tangent on Walmart. 3 to 1 split, stocks! My happy moment for the month. My whole 2.5 shares gets a split! New meaning to focusing on the smaller things in life.

Walmart has added more restrictions in 2019 in addition to the restriction in 2015,

Here’s Walmart’s policy from Walmart. There’s also confirmation of this from a site called The Gun Zone, saying pretty much the same. The article in the Gun Zone is dated January 2024.

In 2018, we made the decision to raise the minimum age to purchase firearms and ammunition in our stores to 21 years of age. In years prior, we ended sales of modern sporting rifles, including the AR-15. Most recently, in September 2019, we decided to no longer sell the ammunition that can be used in large capacity magazines on military-style weapons, which we do not sell. We also made a complete exit from handgun sales. We will focus our assortment of ammunition on the firearms we do carry.

Additionally, we require that customers pass a background check, despite federal law allowing firearms to be sold after a three-day waiting period even if approval isn’t received. We also videotape the point of sale for firearms and only allow certain trained associate to sell firearms.

What is Walmart doing to guarantee responsible firearm sales?
