Walmart To Stop Selling Semi-Automatic Rifles
Walmart is taking semi-automatic rifles off the shelves.
Company spokesman Kory Lundberg said the decision was not related to high-profile incidents involving the rifles, including the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012.
“This is done solely on what customer demand was,” said Lundberg, confirming a report by business news website Quartz. “We are instead focusing on hunting and sportsman firearms.”
Lundberg said Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer, would stop selling a class of rifle called the modern sports rifle (MSR), which includes the semi-automatic AR-15. He said that class of rifle was sold in fewer than a third of its roughly 4,500 U.S. stores.
The decision is part of a regular “reset” of its sporting goods department for the fall, Lundberg said.

agreed…we must praise this decision and not knock walmart for a week ;) I sincerely doubt that the sales of semi-auto weapons affects their overall profits and I doubt the oath keepers will stop shopping at walmart…so it was a safe bet…none the less…cheers walmart…there are enough guns in the world we don’t need more.
