Walmart still has no plans to change its firearms policy.
Walmart is facing increasing pressure to pull guns from its shelves in the wake of the recent shootings at its El Paso, Texas and Southaven, Miss. stores that killed 24 people. Shoppers were also on edge after a man in body armor and armed with a rifle sparked panic at a Missouri store on Thursday.
Walmart stopped selling handguns in the 1990s , and it stopped selling assault-style weapons in 2015. It also restricted gun and ammunition sales to anyone under 21 after the Parkland shooting last year. But otherwise, Walmart spokesman Randy Hargrove told MarketWatch earlier this week that, “right now, there have been no changes to our firearms policy.”
So after a mass shooting occurs, Wal-Mart decides the proper response is to remove "violent" video game displays but continue the sales of guns and ammunition??? Are you kidding me?!?!??! Take the biggest of L's for this Wal-Mart. #BoycottWalmart pic.twitter.com/QqhnTMV5Mh — JRehling August 9, 2019 Related: Check out this chart before blaming videogames for gun violence in America
