Re: Walmart to stop selling assault rifles...
I do, of course, consider that to be a good thing. Once I've managed to successfully ignore and get past whatever charity/fundraising muggers who have set up their stall right by the door, it's a pain to have to pretend not to see someone else right away.

The AR15 isn't an assault rifle. The M16, its selective fire cousin, isn't available to civilians unless it was registered before the cut off in 1985, and the transfer is subject to Federal and state law.

Never seen one in a Walmart, low rent rifles and shotguns seem the norm.
Anybody come across any deals?

Re: Walmart to stop selling assault rifles...
A couple of years ago, they had one at our local one, for ammo...but that was because they had a water leak and were clearance selling loads of stuff...
Local gun shop that was closing down did a all you can fit into a hand basket sale for $50 cash last summer. Don't think that included the handguns, but it did for ammo, mags and everything else.

Canadian Tire sells guns for sure.
Fortnum & Masons used to sell guns. Not sure when they stopped.
Anyway, can you say "market saturation", you can only sell so many AR-15s.

...they are replacing them with shotguns and other hunting weapons...because 'there wasn't a whole lot of demand'.
