- Walmart Inc said on Tuesday it would discontinue sales of ammunition for handguns and some assault-style rifles in stores across the United States, in response to recent mass shootings in Texas and Ohio.
Walmart, like rivals Kroger-owned Fred Meyer and Dick’s Sporting Goods, has already ended sales of assault rifle and raised the minimum age for gun purchases to 21. “The general principle is if we don’t sell the firearm we wouldn’t sell the ammunition,” a spokesman for Walmart told Reuters. Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun control advocacy group, applauded Walmart’s actions, saying “Walmart has its finger on the pulse of what Americans want.”
Just last month, Walmart said it would not change its policy on selling firearms even as it took down signs and playable demos of violent video games.
