Walmart CEO Doug McMillon announced changes to the company's firearm and ammunition sales policies following multiple mass shootings, including incidents in Walmart stores. The company will stop selling handgun and short-barrel rifle ammunition, reducing its market share from 20% to 6-9%. Handgun sales in Alaska will also cease. Additionally, Walmart will no longer allow open carry of firearms in its stores, except for law enforcement. This decision responds to incidents like the panic caused by an armed man in Springfield, MO. McMillon is advocating for stronger background checks and common-sense gun control measures.
