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."
TheView Did NutMeg throw a fit on tv that was followed by her racist, white nationalist, serial plagiarist, homophobic going on a twitter rant?
That off the cuff add will really piss off his bosses at the NRA.
wee have sail sports store here
we've taken God and Prayer out of our Schools and Lives ,and wonder why all the shooting are happening!
trust God not the government!
those who give up there rights for scurty deserve and get nether!
a SLAVE can not own a Gun on his masters plantation!
Does Trump think about anything else but money?
Walmart is doing the right thing,how come you and the Republicans are not doing the right thing? You said that Walmart is smart,I guess that you and Republicans in the dumb column.
As someone who doesn't like him at all, I agree. I think he's actually right on this one.
TheView
TheView Finally someone with enough balls to stand up to the treacherous NRA.
And you did and will not do anything. IDIOT!!!!!
And you don’t?
Wow our economy/ walmart is doing so well. Look inside and see how many items are made in the USA? Not to many. Plus last quarters numbers don’t reflect tariff increases yet. Trumps so out of touch and cognitively Challenged
TheView You need to get rid of Mc Cain. Her gun views are out of step with reality.
TheView Will T Rump bring in the 99th Amendment? Thou shall have ammo😂😂😂 POTUS NRA
Of course. Paying minimum wage to its workers. And having the government subsidize them. That will work.
TheView And once again, reporters let him off the hook.
People are getting guns from the black market & local drug dealer's that's where the real problems are also where most guns be coming from local drug dealer & cartels thanks to weak border security because of dirty democrats
He's VERY stupid.
Quarterly profits have nothing to do with gun control. This shows where Don's focus is.
What a dispicable person. Walmart is acting more swiftly than trump and Moscow Mitch. Sad...very sad.
TheView 'What I am happy about is they announced great numbers' Well I am happy that as a citizen of the united states that Walmart cares enough to make changes that might hurt sales quota's but that will hopefully help save human lives. Just sayin...
Wow look at him sucking up to Walmart.
TheView He did not say that. Fake news
Thing about why Walmart is doing much better. It's not because of our so called great economy.
They did do the right thing they have done more than you have in 3 years as President
They had a tremedous quarter ha, tell that the families of the slain people realDonaldTrump.
Because of course anything Walmart does is based on profit and the bottom line right?
That's right they can do what they want just like I have by not shopping there buying their cheap made in china crap for years now.
I’ve been following Trump for quite a bit and I do believe he, himself is a bit more liberal but he doesn’t want to bite the hand that feeds him
I agree Walmart did the right thing by stopping the sales of ammunition
Trump must have read Charlottes web many times. His favorite words were in the web Tremendous. Fantastic. Terrific. Radiant Some Pig. He must have skipped over the Humble part.
7NY Will change his tune after the NRA calls him to berate him
You should try it, sometime.
Donald Trump wants you not to be able to by guns to defend yourself. This is scary, Patriots ! Trump is a double talkers or Tweeter put it that way !
Trump never takes a stance on anything against the lobbyists who own him.
They did the right thing for the little guy. The small gun shop owners that offer other services as well. Thanks Walmart I hope you saved the small family gun shop in our town.
America is not a corporation! We are the bottom line, the American people. TrumpGibberish
The NRA will call him after seeing this and he’ll change his tune.
He has to take credit for everything
Trump's brain is seriously jello.
Walmart is not a tool of the NRA like Trump is.
I don't like the move but he is correct
No Balls Trump wont say the right thing bc he knows he will anger his base.
...welll...I’ve never had a reason before to have no response to this guy, but here I am.
See now that is a President he knows a free market can choose what they want to sell. It is not up to him
He learned not to bite the hand that feeds him.
Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news
It's nice to see someone as powerful as Walmart stand up to gun violence.
ClevelandScene If Walmart wanted to help they raise employees pay and produce healthcare,
ClevelandScene The grand facade, wouldn’t buy nothing from Walmart, let alone ammunition. Business promotion, blind faith
Julie_Aleman It’s not like they bought them there.
Are they going to stop selling beer too?
But it sells alcohol and cigarettes which kill WAY more people every year!!!!!!!!
They sell guns at Walmart? 😂 Did no one think this was a bad idea?
How about Stop
Boycott Wal Mart!
Walmart is communism and ppl are waking up to that notion.
What does “limit” mean?
“Limit”? That means continue to sell. No difference.
Yay! Walmart fixed it! Take that bad guys! NoMoreMurders Morons YouCantFixStupid
70zChild I get one stop shopping but why any guns in a grocery, clothes etc... store where families shop? It remains to be unbelievable to me.
Such a political move walmart. Start on violent videos, violent hollywood movies, violent, expilicit, descriptive rap. I will be greatly impressed then
Bad guys will get em.
Shouldn’t they have thought of that 250 shootings ago?
Violent/graphic movies, videos and violent rap. The money makers! You would have outrage and so much business lost, but this is where you get skin in the game walmart. Let’s be real walmart. This is such a fakey move
💃🏻
Limit? Remove altogether.
Limit? Pu$$ies!
Only one AK-47, one AR-15, two hand grenades, one land mine, and 40 bullets of any one caliber of design.
JeffreyCook to clarify though: when it says it will “sell through” ammunition, does that mean they aren’t pulling it from shelves and will sell the remaining stock? so basically still putting profits over safety? why not pull everything from their shelves today?
Thank you
JeffreyCook good
A huge thanks to the employees who joined the strike to make this happen! We all know they got paid very little and had much to lose by taking a stand for common sense.
Stop selling guns like candies.
Thank you Walmart for having the courage to make changes where other leaders have not.
Good! It’s about time big business stands where our govt won’t!
Blolol Just stop selling them all together! Who the hell goes shopping for milk, bread and a machine gun? 🙈
They are pandering. I get it, but it won’t stop anything.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
How about stop selling them that would be a good start maybe others would follow 👍
Maybe they should limit the amount of SSRI prescriptions they fill for Depression!
It’s a start. Kudos for that. But why only after it takes place inside its stores? Why wasn’t inside its country motivation enough? Why do we need to see it hit us in the pocketbook to make changes
Wow, is shooting at a Walmart a new trend?
This is why Wal Mart has outlasted all of its competitors.
The right thing perhaps for the wrong reason, facilitating the murder of your customers. Is bad for business.
Well, if we banned Walmart, there wouldn't be any mass killings in Walmarts.
And only bc they happened at their stores...
Finally some positive responsible action
Nice gesture but guns/ammo are a small fraction of the problem. The issue are males feeling entitled to kill anyone at any given time. When we resort to suicide bombings what “device” will we limit or ban then.. or will we focus on the emotional instabilities of the male gender?
Do the murderers purchase their ammo right before they open fire inside the store?
Do any of you naive people really think this stops anything? Now Walmart in my area is a soft target and I will NOT shop there!
It’s a step.
None of those shooters got there Guns at Wallmart lol
Should’ve happened years ago ... but okay.
Cuz 2 in a week was too many and they’d like to limit shootings.
How does that help exactly?
Ummm limit How exactly does that work?
Phoenixnjpw Omy to buy a shotgun before you left way pedos get me & my family killed in a home invasion
Ironically, this is how Walmart shoots itself in the foot
What the hell does that mean 😠 your either selling them or not Walmart does not control gun sales WTH are you feeling Stupid or sompin
Good for Walmart, I will reconsider shopping there again
Not enough STOP SELLING ALL GUNS
Stupid and pointless, will have no effect on anything whatsoever other than to cause Walmart to lose money.
So you blame the gun?!?!?!
I dont think I've ever said this in my life.....but kudos to Wal Mart.
This will totally stop mass shootings 😂🤦🏽♂️
Why not discontinue all gunpowder weapons and ammo? What percentage of sales does firearms and ammo contribute to Walmart’s annual sales? Walmart is a family store.
Stop shopping at Walmart. Bad political move on their part.
Pull them out all together.
Discuss “weapons of war”, hunting, all the mass shootings you want.. an entire political party is calling for socialism and they are pushing to abolish the 2A for the exact reason there is a 2A. (period)
Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news
Limit? Not end?
Por fin....
. . . . .but will continue to sell cigarettes which kill 1000+ people a day. Guess they need to keep the pharmacy business profitable.
Every little bit helps.
This a half ass attempt by Wal Mart to increase sales. But they still sell those gorry videos that show nothing but blowing people away with guns. Get real Wal Mart.
Finally they're getting it. It's not video games, single mothers, mental illness, it's the 'guns' stupid. Screw the NRA and their paid politicians.
Why the hell not JUST STOP NOGUNS Walmart
I mean .... only took a month...., but it’s a start.
If Walmart truly wants to take a stand, they should stop selling guns completely.
PERIOD
I knew they would only see the light after a massacre took place on their home turf. What took them so long? Funny how dozens of lawsuits tend to turn corporations into socially responsible entities.
Impressive. Jk. It's stupid. You shouldn't be able to buy guns in a goddamn supermarket.
Change has to start somewhere
About time
All Patriots to boycott Wal Mart.
👏🏼
Walmart is acting faster than our goverment Not good news if you look at it my way. Our government must act
Ludicrous! This will do nothing to prevent further violence.
MORE: CEO Doug McMillon announced in a company memo 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.
Good news for smaller gun stores, but the ammo price will go up. Bad news for consumers.
'Limit'? what about 'cancel'?
Walmart for president.
It took more people to die for them to realize this.
They better not stop selling sex toys!!!
