Unless they're moving the guns and ammo to off-site storage, I don't see how taking them off of display does much against looting.

Maybe instead they should break out those firearms and have some employees guarding their stores.

This. The Walmart stores I've shopped at never displayed guns.

Most southern state Wally Worlds still sell guns.

In any case, the last time I was in Walmart the only ammo available was .300 Winmag and .350 Legend.

Maybe they are letting the profit from guns and ammo cover the cost of looting?
