I think they could get away with a select number of models. Traditional "hunting" pistols. No Glocks or anything like that, but I can't see many objections over selling friendly looking revolvers, single shots like the Contender guns, etc. My aunt's husband is a longtime Clinton Democrat type and even he went out and bought a Taurus revolver a few years ago, so even to liberals those guns aren't that scary.
But it's a far cry from 20-25 years ago. Pretty much every firearm my grandfather owns (minus the few he's purchased in the past five years) came from Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Roses, the local Hardware store, Western Auto, or an Army/Navy store. Most Army/Navy stores I know of don't sell guns anymore, Western Auto isn't around, K-Mart stopped selling, Roses hasn't sold a gun for nearly as long as I've been living, and if your local town still has a family hardware store, they probably don't sell guns.
Wal-Mart is really going down the tube anyway. They're looking more and more like Sears. Now if Dollar General would start selling guns and ammo, I wouldn't have a reason to go in a Wal-Mart at all.
The Wal-Mart employee told me that they are not selling AR's anymore in Cartersville. I hope they keep the .223 AMMO on the shelf though
It's Nationwide. The name to know is JP Suarez. He's had a hard-on for gun control in Wal-Mart for years.

Earlier this year, what do you know, he got a promotion.

"There were other changes announced at Walmart as well. Pam Kohn, EVP of Walmart Realty has left the company. She has been replaced by J.P. Suarez who served as SVP of real-estate strategy and has now been elevated to Executive Vice President. He will report to Judith McKenna, COO."
He reports to this lady:

"Judith McKenna is executive vice president and chief operating officer for Walmart U.S. and is responsible for the company’s U.S. store operations, including more than 4,100 retail locations."
I don't think it's a coincidence, and I still feel the decision is mostly financial, but there's certainly someone at Wal-Mart who benefits from the stop of AR-15 sales from a beliefs standpoint. And it just so happens this individual is now in a place of power to make it happen.
