YvanDube/iStock(BENTONVILLE, Ark.) — Walmart will limit the sales of guns and ammunition following two deadly shootings that occurred at its stores within a week of each other.
CEO Doug McMillon announced in a company memo Tuesday that Walmart will discontinue sales of short-barrel rifle ammunition, such as the .223 caliber and 5.56 caliber, which can be used on military-style weapons, as well as handgun ammunition.
In addition, the store will discontinue sales of handguns in Alaska, “marking our complete exit from handguns.”
