I think the biggest shame of it is that Walmart did everything they could to undercut the small local sporting goods shops (by slashing prices to the point where the localscouldn't compete and/or make any profit, by having a half dozen stores/superstores taking the business from 1 or 2 local shops) and now they will stop selling firearms because their local 5 or 10 stores don't do enough individual business to make it worth their while to sell firearms.
