As firearm sales soar, Wal-Mart rations sale of ammunition

Faced with months of surging demand, Wal-Mart is rationing sales of ammunition.

The nation’s largest retailer is limiting ammunition sales at its stores across the country to three boxes per customer, per day.

Guns and ammunition have been flying off store shelves since President Obama’s reelection in November, and the firearm rush only picked up in the wake of the tragic school shooting in Newtown, Conn., in December.
