The 360 | Should Walmart stop selling guns?
In the days following a mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, that left 22 people dead, the retail giant has faced pressure to stop selling guns in its stores.
Walmart, one of the nation's biggest gun retailers, has made changes to its gun sales policies in recent years. The company stopped selling assault-style rifles like the one used in El Paso in 2015 and raised the age requirement for gun purchases to 21 last year, shortly after the mass shooting in Parkland, Fla. Walmart also pulled guns from its New Mexico stores last month in response to new background-check legislation in the state.
Walmart's defenders say its policies comply with all federal laws — and are in many cases stricter than local gun laws. The company has stores all over the country, including areas where voters are staunchly pro gun rights, they argue. A former Walmart CEO said the solution to gun violence should be"delivered by the country and by Congress," not by a private company.Story continuesWalmart stores have become a flashpoint in the aftermath of the El Paso shooting.
