Walmart, the largest retailer in the United States, said it will stop selling guns and ammunition to anyone under 21

Walmart, the largest retailer in the United States, said Wednesday evening that it would stop selling guns and ammunition to anyone under 21 years of age and remove toys and airsoft rifles from its stores that resemble assault-style weapons.

“Our heritage as a company has always been in serving sportsmen and hunters, and we will continue to do so in a responsible way,” the company said in a statement.

Little by little they continue to chip away at the 2nd and other parts of the constitution. All in the name of safety of course.

Stop and think before you espouse. A company can choose to sell whatever it wants; how and when it wants. This is NOT government gun control. This is public relations for those companies and isn't hurting anyone. If kids can't be responsible drinkers, why would we expect them to be responsible gun owners?
Here's the bottom line: after the recent spat of mass shootings, much of the public would like to see something done- anything done. If republicans do NOTHING, they will lose seats in November. So, encourage them to extend an olive branch so the voters see that they were trying to do something.
I agree with everyone here : it's not the gun, it's the person who kills. I even own an AR-15, but I know if politicians do nothing, we will get screwed if we lose power in Congress.

They don't sell any guns worth buying anyway. Ammo can be found, readily available, elsewhere for cheaper.

I’ve found Walmart has the lowest price for ammo in this area, thank you very much. I started slowly stock piling ammo over the last 8 years buying mostly at Walmart.

7:49 That just means you aren't smart enough to buy ammo online.

Buy online. Cheaper per round, better selection, and most of the time free or very little to ship.

7:21 Not if they keep following California gun laws like MD has been... In CA they can;t even buy ammo online or at a store anywhere without ID or some background check or something stupid... They added a tax to all ammo, and you pay per round...

7:13 you are 100% wrong, do you remember the privately owned bakery that didn't want to sell a Faggitt wedding cake? The court said they couldn't pick and choose its customers, and could not discriminate against customers.
