5. Sounds like a hoax story - I don't see anything like this outside of RW & gun nut sites

I also didn't see anything in Wal-mart's home page nor anything on their ammunition page http://www.walmart.com/browse/hunting/guns,-rifles-ammunition/4125_4155_1088608/?_refineresult=true&facet=category%3ARifle+Ammunition%7C%7Ccategory%3AShotgun+Ammunition%7C%7Ccategory%3AHandgun+Ammunition&povid=cat4155-env458156-moduleB120712-lLinkFC3Ammo

I searched some news sites (as opposed to a web search) and saw nothing.

(I also did a general Google of web sites and that's where I see the gun-nut and RW websites and nothing legitimate).

The Investment Watch blog link that the OP's article links to -- http://investmentwatchblog.com/breaking-confirmed-wal-mart-is-not-going-to-order-any-more-ammo/
is dated January 12 -- if it were true, by now, 2 days later, it would be all over the news.

And if it were true, it would not be good news -- Walmart would only do this for purposes of riling up the gun nuts.
