Who Needs Walmart? Buy Ammo by the Pound in Texas.

By now, we all know that Walmart has decided to stop selling certain types of ammunition because some people think it’s more scary than other kinds, which they will continue to sell. Many folks hail this as a victory of sorts for “Main Street America,” i.e. the small independent gun shops that will benefit from increased business as shooters buy ammo from them instead of Walmart.

Meanwhile, a shooting range in Texas has started to sell ammo by the pound and trolled Walmart about it.

Alpine Shooting Range decided to sell ammo from dispensers and charge by the pound. It more or less coincided with the Walmart announcement, so they decided to ride the wave of that story.

They started small with a pair of dispensers, but that didn’t satisfy.

On September 5, they posted, “Heavy metal ammo bar is almost complete,” along with these three photos.

Their next posted photo speaks for itself, and they tagged #walmart.

Behold how the banned Walmart ammo flows.

Ah me. Ain’t America cool?

And some people think I’m silly when I refer to ammo as groceries for your gun.
