PFAW Member,
On August 3, a white supremacist killed 22 people and wounded dozens more
at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, just days after a Walmart employee killed
two colleagues inside the Southaven, Mississippi store.
Despite bearing witness to two shootings that left 24 people dead within
just five days, Walmart executives don’t have plans to stop selling guns
anytime soon. Walmart is one of the country’s largest gun retailers,
selling firearms and ammunition in half of its 4,750 U.S. stores.

ammo in your stores>>
After the shooting in El Paso, Walmart offered “prayers,” but empty
platitudes don’t create meaningful change. Walmart needs to take direct,
thoughtful action and pull all guns and ammunition from their shelves.
Walmart has taken gradual measures to address its gun policies in recent
years. It’s clear the retail giant is capable of change: it stopped
selling assault rifles in 2015 and raised the minimum gun and ammunition
purchasing age from 18 to 21 after the Parkland school shooting in 2018.
Now, Walmart needs to take the next step and stop selling guns and
ammunition altogether. Simply raising the purchasing age and refusing to
sell assault rifles is not enough to address gun violence.

Thanks for all that you do,
