    I like how they make this sound like it’s unusual.

    Walmart sold ammo for years, and here, local chains like Bi-Mart still do.

    The only interesting bit is the vending machine.

        I live in a progressive urban area far from the Southern US. I can think of at least 2 different stores near me that sell groceries and ammunition. From my experience, groceries + ammo is pretty common for many big-box stores in the suburbs.

            It’s for them to rise up and defend themselves if the US government ever gets authoritarian.

            Well, unless it’s their kind of authoritarian. You know, white Christofascist ethnostate authoritarianism.

        Every Walmart outside of the big city sells ammo in my blue state, then again there aren’t any Walmarts in the big city.

        Walmart sells ammunition in more than half of their stores.
