Be careful what you wish for. Guns were once "mainstream commerce" in America.
All those nationwide chains mentioned previously, like Sears, JC Penney, Montgomery Ward, Kmart, Western Auto and many more, once sold firearms, ammo and hunting gear. All quit selling firearms and ammo years ago.
Few of them remain in business. Our last area Sears is closing this fall. Boscov's is a fairly big chain here in PA, that once sold firearms and hunting gear. They dropped them years ago and nearly went bankrupt within a few years. Their aging founder came out of retirement to save the chain. I haven't spent a dime in one since they dropped firearms.
Point is, the less "mainstream" firearms become, the more likelihood that the demise of the ownership of firearms will continue to exist over the long haul. The Left continues to succeed in vilifying guns, to the point that major retailers have abandoned them as products they wish to identify with.
Never bought a firearm from Walmart. Most of my guns were bought from LGS operations and private sales. Have bought one helluva lot of ammo from Walmart, based on price and selection. Our local Wally's still has firearms in the cases. Ammo, not so much lately?
