The “food” that Walmart sells kills exponentially more people than handgun ammo ever will. I support their right to do business however they want. And I’ll reserve my right to think they’re the retail equivalent of a trough urinal.

You're gonna need to provide some actual evidence to back up that statement. At least around here (and other regions we've visited), Walmart carries the same foodstuffs as virtually every other grocery store. In many cases, WM has a greater variety *and* a lower price on the items carried in other stores. It's why we do the bulk of our grocery shopping there.

Heart disease and cancer kill, what, a million people in this country each year? Can we agree that this is due, in large measure, to diet? Highly processed, high-sugar foods in particular. Maybe I’m wrong but I feel like this is generally accepted science at this point. And this is to say nothing of tobacco and alcohol, which Walmart also sells around the country. Are other grocery stores selling the same? Yes but last I checked my local grocery store wasn’t virtue-signaling about gun violence.
Amazon synthetic is very highly rated and is the same as the Walmart stuff.

As I posted over on lightfighter when I heard about this my biggest concern is that historically for the past decade Walmart has purchased three to four months worth of the total civilian domestic ammo production every year for distribution through their stores. Most of that has been pistol ammo and " assault rifle" ammo. Ammo sales are flat. There is little profit margin in it and Walmart has used ammo as a loss leader to get customers in the door for a while now, look at how convenient for you it is..... The same way they did music CD's in the ninety's and early 2000's... Them discontinuing ammo sales was a dispassionate business decision that they worked the numbers out on and said..... "Fuck it. We're not gonna lose much if any money, most customers will keep coming back and numbers wise ammo sales are way down"....The ability for the CEO's to virtue signal is just a added bonus.....
Going back to the domestic ammo manufacturers though. That yearly contract that they could count on every year going away.... that's gonna leave a big ol red mark on some spreadsheets.....and I predict it will dramatically affect ammo availability and production numbers/ pricing in the coming years.... As production rates are shrunk down or lines go idle....
