This from another forum - a Walmart response to his letter:
Thank you for your recent inquiry. Walmart, like the rest of the country, has been engaged in a national dialogue about the responsible sale and regulation of firearms. We have had ongoing conversations with the Administration, Congress, Mayor Bloomberg’s office, sportsmen groups, suppliers and others to listen and share our thoughts and experiences.
Over the years we have been very purposeful about striking the right balance between serving hunters and sportsmen and ensuring that we sell firearms responsibly. In fact, we became a charter member of Mayor Bloomberg’s coalition against illegal guns and adopted the 10-point code established by the Responsible Firearms Retailer Partnership that goes beyond what the law requires. We have also spoken to the Vice President’s office to share our perspective.
We take this issue very seriously and are committed staying engaged in this discussion as the Administration and Congress work toward a consensus on the right path forward.
Sincerely,
Walmart Customer Care

Same here. I stopped at one WalMart on the weekend and they had nothing I could use. Stopped at another last night and same story.
The LGS's seem ok for reloading supplies except the one sold his last 1000 55 grain .223's which are now residing on my reloading shelf
. Plenty of common calibers, powders and primers.

I'd Like to through my 2 cents in this it my only be worth a 1/2 cent but its something i work in walmart sporting goods section and from the fax we recieved and my talks with my managers who shoot on regular basis im being told that the hold on orders is so the warehouses can restock and the have been spliting everything that is coming in between all stores and the hold on orders is so that 1 store cant order all of something that all stores are out of and will say yesterday we got in 25 boxes of AE 55 grain .223's and 20 boxes of rem yellowjacket 100ct .22's so we are still getting ammo just not enough to cover what everyones after. I would love to get some .308's in personally becuase i just traded my 06 for a .308 and only have half a box of shells for it.
Even during deer hunnting season up to now with the buying hysteria, our Walmarts have 30-06 but haven't had any .308 since around October.
