The world’s largest retailer is pulling firearms and ammunition from sales floors across the United States, a move that is intended to keep the deadly weapons from falling into criminals’ hands.
Walmart advised store managers to begin making the shift Wednesday, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Customers interested in buying firearms or ammunition can still make purchases, but an authorized employee will have to retrieve the goods.
“We have seen some isolated civil unrest and as we have done on several occasions over the last few years, we have moved our firearms and ammunition off the sales floor as a precaution for the safety of our associates and customers,” a company spokesman told The Journal.
Update: Walmart has reversed their stance and Guns and Ammunition will remain available
Do you have a link to this, Anthony Nelson?
“…a move that is intended to keep the deadly weapons from falling into criminals’ hands.”
No, this is a move to keep the “deadly weapons” from the hands of law abiding citizens who want to protect themselves from criminals who are going to steal the deadly weapons anyway. Criminals don’t go into Walmart and buy their guns. These people are complete IDIOTS!
Everyone already has their Guns & don’t need Walmart !!! LOL
