A pair of Walmart employees are joining a number of gun control advocates, questioning the chain’s sale of guns and ammunition and encouraging employees to join their protest. “If I do wind up getting fired for this, that is a risk I am willing to take”
In the wake of the weekend’s deadly shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, a pair of Walmart employees are joining a number of gun control advocates, questioning the retail chain’s sale of guns and ammunition and encouraging other employees to join in their protest.
Marshall said he’s troubled by Walmart’s decision to continue to sell firearms, even after the mass shooting in one of its own stores in El Paso killed at least 22 Saturday. "There’s been no change to our policy regarding firearms,” Hargrove said. “Our focus has been on our associates and the entire El Paso community."Kesner and Marshall said that their work accounts were disabled by Walmart after they attempted to organize the protests.
Gun control advocates have argued that Walmart should discontinue the sale of all guns and ammunition in the wake of the growing number of mass shootings.
