Walmart must help build safer communities with fewer guns

See all tags

Walmart is the largest retailer in America and one of the largest gun retailers in the world. That means they have tremendous political sway and we need them to join the fight in building safer communities with fewer guns.

While Walmart made progress in 2015 and 2018, there is much more they must do. We demand they take the following actions immediately:

  • Stop selling firearms in a country where they’re already incredibly easy to get
  • Pledge they’ll no longer make political contributions to lawmakers who get their money from the NRA
  • Pledge that they’ll use their political influence to advocate for legislative changes to raise the standard of gun production and ownership in America
  • Invest in the communities they serve and fund gun buybacks in key areas around the country
