They are not banning ammo sales (the way I was told) and I bought some.

As I believe someone else speculated, I think it's more along the lines of Walmart wanting to maximize their profits. With prices being out of whack right now, they don't want to buy a chit ton of ammunition at insane prices and then get stuck having to sell it at a loss when the prices return to normal (whatever the new normal turns out to be). Basically, they're hedging their bets. They're betting that the prices are going to come down again in the relatively near future.
