Stops selling AR-15
Walmart says it will stop selling “modern sporting rifles” such as the AR-15 and other semi-automatic rifles because of sluggish demand and focus instead on “hunting and sportsman firearms.” The class of rifle was sold in fewer than a third of its roughly 4,500 U.S. stores. The company says the decision was unrelated to and shooting incidents.
This is done solely on what customer demand was. We are instead focusing on hunting and sportsman firearms.
