...According to Quartz, Lundberg downplayed the stoppage of assault rifle sales, noting, "This happens to get more attention because of what the product is. The decision was completely based on what customers are buying and what they want." Walmart had already been in the process of phasing out high-powered firearms like AR-15 and modern sporting rifles, and they'll discontinue stocking modular sniper rifles (MSRs) in the coming weeks. The retail chain had long stopped selling handguns and high-capacity magazines.
While Walmart calls the move a business decision, the country's biggest firearms dealer pulling their most dangerous weapons comes at a time where the debate over strengthening gun control measures and lessening gun violence continues to divide Americans and political parties.
