Walmart has announced small steps to help gun violence, but there is much more that needs to be done.
“It’s clear to us that the status quo is unacceptable.” So wrote Walmart chief executive officer Doug McMillon on Tuesday in a memo informing employees of the retailer’s next steps in response to the ongoing gun violence across the United States, including the two shootings last month at Walmart stores in Southaven, Miss., and El Paso, Tex.
In his letter, McMillon comes across as deeply impacted by the shootings of 50 people, 24 of whom were killed, in the two Walmart episodes. His words resonate with the desire to make a positive impact. “We want what’s best for our customers, our associates and our communities,” he said. “In a complex situation lacking a simple solution, we are trying to take constructive steps to reduce the risk that events like these will happen again.
Respecting heritage serves a purpose, and whatever one thinks of hunting as a sport, many who engage in it are law-abiding, decent people. But times have changed since Sam Walton first set up shop. Gun violence is a national scourge.
