Walmart Target Practice
Bloomberg on Walmart’s decision to curtail ammunition sales after after two deadly shootings in its stores. “The company will discontinue sales of .223 caliber ammunition and other sizes that can be used in assault-style weapons after it sells through its inventory commitments. It will stop selling handguns in Alaska, the only state where it still sells them, and won’t offer bullets for them anywhere after its stocks are depleted. And it’s ‘respectfully requesting’ that shoppers refrain from openly carrying their firearms in its stores.” (What would the founding fathers have thought if they realized that people were going to have to shop for groceries without being strapped? Can we still call this America?)
