I think some of you missed the line about those items still being available for sale to customers. I would guess that you simply have to ask (assuming you can find a clerk.) As surmised, this action is due to the threat of mobs coming in to steal them during riots.
Looking at how stores are being looted at the drop of a hat, it does not seem to be an unreasonable precaution.

Check the work boot section. They are hiding the handguns and ammo in the boots.
Safest and most secure spot when the looting starts.

Latest on this from Walmart Corporate Headquarters is that they are removing guns and ammo from the floor in anticipation of riots and looting after the elections if Trump wins. In other words, they don't want the looters/rioters to be able to smash and grab the guns and ammo.

They said they will put them back and continue selling guns and ammo... I'll not buy from them though. Anyone that blows over with the political wind, doesn't get my $$. WalMart has done it time after time.

They've just reversed that decision, based on the fact that the riots have considerably slowed and were localized to specific cities. (My opinion: They may have to reverse the reversal if there are widespread disturbances after the election.)

My good Rockinbar, would you not take extra pains to secure your guns and valuables if there were a rash of home burglaries in your city? Would that not be prudent and apolitical? That's all this is.
WalMart may not be to everyone's liking, but this decision is business-based - and entirely reasonable.

Another note. Just because a Walmart employee tells you something, does not make it so. Gossip is a universal skill, in case you have lived all this time and hadn’t noticed.

Far more concerning is the fact that Walmart gave 100 million to BLM.
They also actively support the f a g g o t agenda, to the point that some have been transferred to different stores and demoted simply for not actively showing support for the agenda.

24 hours later, Wally World publicly announced they were reversing that stance...
and putting firearms back on the shelves along with ammo...( not hand gun ammo)
because guys like me, and plenty more were calling in and complaining about it
I criticized them for supporting crime, denying the public access for items to be able to defend their families, homes and possessions...Customer service gal said they had fielded a lot of those types of calls from ALL over the country in just 24 hours...enough to send a message...

The news has said that Walmart has removed them to avoid them being stolen in civil unrest after the election. Yes, just a safety measure against the coming anarchists whole will be looting Wal-Mart after the election!
