Slump in AR and semi-auto shotgun sales blamed--nothing to do with, uh, politics.

The local Walmart by me sells a few shotguns and low end rifles... The guy that clerks the sporting goods counter says that the rifles sit most of the year and fly off the shelf when hunting season starts.

We'll see if the replace the ones here on our shelves. As of last Saturday, they still had 4 AR's in the case. The nice thing is our local BiMart which has always carried long guns is now displaying a full case of pistols.

I was just at a Walmart in Winchester, VA earlier today and they had a S&W M&P with Magpul MOE furniture in that "Lazy Susan" style gunrack of theirs. It was marked down to $600. I'm not an AR guy but I'd have bought it if I had the money. Personally, I don't go to Walmart to buy guns anyway but this is getting ridiculous. I'd still rather shop at Wally World than gender confused Target.

I would have just walk right by it. Unless the price was closer to 400-500 I would not even consider it. It cost me more to change out the trigger and other parts to make the weapon into something I am used to shooting. Although if the price did hit below 500 it might be worth just having a stock AR around the house..

They normally go for around $750-800 around here so $600 wasn't a bad price. I figure if it sits there longer it will probably drop again as they clear their inventory due to the stupid policy.

I don't go into Walmart much. I don't like the vibe of the place.
I am hoping Meijer coming to Round Lake Beach is good.

Where I live, it's either Target or Walmart and I see the latter as the lesser of those two evils. We used to have a couple Super Kmarts but they closed late last year.
