The NRA fights back after the city of San Francisco labeled the gun-rights group a “domestic terrorist organization.”
The retail giant had previously stopped selling weapons like the AR-15, and it stopped selling handguns in all states except Alaska. Among the changes announced last week, the retailer said it would stop selling handguns in that state as well.
McMillon also called on Congress to strengthen background checks"and to remove weapons from those who have been determined to pose an imminent danger." "As we’ve seen before, these horrific events occur and then the spotlight fades. We should not allow that to happen. Congress and the administration should act," McMillon said.
The NRA said in response that Walmart had succumbed"to the pressure of the anti-gun elites,” that customers would go elsewhere for ammunition and that"rather than place the blame on the criminal, Walmart has chosen to victimize law-abiding Americans."Also last week, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, a gun-rights defender,that he wants the state to close a loophole in gun-purchaser background checks involving strangers.
"Look, I'm a solid NRA guy," Patrick told the newspaper,"but not expanding the background check to eliminate the stranger-to-stranger sale makes no sense to me and ... most folks."Patrick's proposals"would resurrect the same broken, Bloomberg-funded failures that were attempted under the Obama administration."
