Better get em while you can. I have not heard this rumor yet, but you can imagine that many stores may follow suit in light of S.H.E.S.Wodathunkit wrote:Can anyone confirm this rumor?
If they do decide to pull them, they wont be getting any of my business in the future.

I could believe empty shelves due to sales
Immediately after Aurora,all shops in Aurora sold out of AKs
mags too

The article indicates that Wally World is only pulling from the web. They can still be purchased at the store for however long that lasts.

Wow. I certainly don't want to be disrespectful to the poor families that lost their children but what a knee jerk reaction by these companies. Do you think the company that owns Bushmaster is selling because they are afraid of a huge law suite?

I wonder if the Myans knew about the 2nd amendment ending (as we know it) on 12/21.

Re: Academy pulling AR's off shelves?
A quick check of the Academy website finds no AR (or other EBR's) found. Lots of bolt actions, though.
Now, what I don't remember is if they were there before. If anyone knows, chime it.

Walmart has stated they only pulled the advertisement for ARs online and will continue to sell.
Dicks Sporting Goods has been reported as taking all ARs off their shelves.

Re: Academy pulling AR's off shelves?
Was at the one in arlington last night they had one or two still up on the shelf. Couldn't get anywhere near the counter way to many people buying up everything!
