Agreed, wish I had captured the other link as well. Calls to Walmart provided no clarification.
"... the UPCOMING DECISION on the second amendment"...

There is no "decision", despite the impromptu comments by Griselda the Malwart Lady.
The law of the land is literally BLACK AND WHITE.
To further abuse a word once uttered by an infamous felon...
(Edited for spelling.)
The law is "effectuated" by nameless, faceless bureaucrats. In the case of Federal firearms law, that is none other than ATF.
Since President Obama now sits pretty much beyond the reach of the electorate, I would be surprised if he didn't take at least some of the heat off his friends in Congress by invoking Executive privelege on this one. For example, he could have ATF declare a GLOCK equipped with a fill-in-the-blank-capacity magazine to be a "Destructive Device."
Or at least he could try to; there would no doubt be lawsuits seeking injunctions to stop him.
However, such a scheme does make sense. If your ultimate goal is confiscation (with or without compensation to the owner), then registration is the logical place to start. Surely, 'they' have thought of this, so I would expect some form of registration to be at least proposed for various things on their 'list.'
They have the means already in place in GCA '68; all they need is the 'political will' to abuse it.

It will last until they get tired of seeing ammo sales go
to other big chains and small gun stores. Lost profits will bring them back. Walmart stores in Fairbanks have been selling handguns all along and I think they took some sort of stand to stop selling handguns in the states. I'd rather buy shooting related items from other stores anyway. If they were my only choice I'd spend my money there, but I can still go to better stores.
I agree, I avoid them

Like the plague, my big fear is if online sales are banned, my local shop charges 150-200% over retail.
I agree as well...
Walmart has long been 'the store of last resort' for me, particularly for items I can purchase from the local gun shop.
'Back in the day', Walmart was a different place.
Nowadays, I only go to Walmart if I 'have' to.
