A growing number of Democratic presidential candidates are calling on Walmart, one of country's leading sellers of firearms, to stop selling guns.
A week after two mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, a growing number of Democratic presidential candidates are calling on Walmart, one of country's leading sellers of firearms, to stop selling guns.
Warren, who appeared to be the first candidate to publicly take the position, said that Walmart could follow the example of the CVS pharmacy when it voluntarily stopped selling tobacco products in 2014, a move Warren said had helped reduce cigarette sales nationally. In 2015, Walmart said that it would no longer sell high-powered rifles, which were associated with multiple mass shootings, at its U.S. stores.
When pressed if Walmart should stop selling guns, Senator Kamala Harris of California said, “yeah I do...it’s not that everyone needs to stop selling guns, but there need to be checks and balances.”
