Conservatives like Lahren are slamming the retailer's new gun sales policy, which Alyssa Milano hailed as a 'great start.'
On Tuesday, Walmart announced that it will scale back the retailer’s gun and ammo sales, prompting strong reactions on both sides of the gun control debate. The news comes exactly one month after the Aug. 3 mass shooting at an El Paso Walmart, in which 22 people were killed. The retailer had also faced pressure to take action after a fatal shooting on July 30 at its Southaven, Miss. store, during which a former employee shot and killed two workers.

Bernie Sanders were among those cheering the policy as a “step in the right direction.” — David Hogg September 3, 2019 Finally, a major American company actually does something to try to combat gun violence. Well done @Walmart - one small step for you, one giant leap for common sense. https://t.co/kMYrZYwcIo
