‘NOT GOOD ENOUGH’: Elizabeth Warren Says Walmart ‘Should Do More’ to Limit Ammo Sales

posted by Hannity Staff - 9.03.19

Senator Elizabeth Warren called on Walmart to “do more” to limit the sale of guns and ammunition Tuesday; saying the retail giant’s decision to reduce handgun ammunition sales a “good start.”

“This is a good start—but it’s not nearly enough. Walmart can and should do much more. And we need real gun reform, now,” posted Warren on social media.

Nationwide retailer Walmart confirmed Tuesday their plans to discontinue the sale of handgun ammunition at stores across the country; saying they plan to focus on “hunting rifles” and other “sporting accessories.”


“Walmart is set to end sales of handguns in Alaska and will discontinue the sale of short-barrel rifle and handgun ammunition in stores nationwide, the super chain’s president and CEO announced Tuesday afternoon,” reports Fox News. “The store said it will gear its focus toward long barrel deer rifles and shotguns, supply much of the ammunition they require and provide hunting and sporting accessories and apparel.”

“We have a long heritage as a company of serving responsible hunters and sportsmen and women, and we’re going to continue doing so,” McMillon said.

Walmart is also asking customers who live in “open carry states” to refrain from bringing guns into their stores without permission from local law enforcement and managers.

“We encourage our nation’s leaders to move forward and strengthen background checks and to remove weapons from those who have been determined to pose an imminent danger,” the statement said.

The announcement comes weeks after a lone gunman opened fire inside an El Paso Walmart store; killing 22 people and injuring dozens more.

DEATH TOLL RISES: El Paso Shooting Fatalities Now 22 After Two Victims Die at Hospital

posted by Hannity Staff - 8.05.19

The number of Americans murdered at a mass shooting in Walmart Saturday now stands at 22 after two additional victims died at an El Paso hospital Monday morning.

“Two more victims of Saturday’s mass shooting in El Paso died on Monday morning, raising the number of fatalities in the massacre to 22, officials said,” reports Fox News. “The mass shooting — one of the deadliest in modern U.S. history — unfolded at a Walmart around 11 a.m. Saturday, as 21-year-old suspect Patrick Crusius, allegedly opened fire in the store, initially killing at least 20 and injuring another 26.”

Crusius was charged with capital murder and the FBI is handling the case as an act of “Domestic Terrorism.” If convicted, the government could use the death penalty.

“The loss of life is so great, we certainly have never seen this in our community. We are a very safe community,” said El Paso District Attorney Jaime Esparza. “We pride ourselves on the fact that we’re so safe, and certainly this community is rocked, shocked and saddened by what has happened here yesterday.”

President Trump addressed the American people from the White House Monday morning after a weekend of deadly gun violence; offering condolences to the victims and their families and calling for stricter background checks and red flag laws across the United States.

“We cannot let those killed in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, die in vain. Likewise for those so seriously wounded. We can never forget them, and those many who came before them. Republicans and Democrats must come together and get strong background checks, perhaps marrying this legislation with desperately needed immigration reform. We must have something good, if not GREAT, come out of these two tragic events!” posted the President on social media.

“I’ve been in close consultation with Attorney General Barr. We are conducting a methodical investigation… With a view towards bringing federal hate crime charges and federal firearm charges which carry the penalty of death,” said the US District Attorney. “We’re also treating this as a domestic terrorism case.”

“We’re going to do what we do to terrorists in this country, which is to deliver swift and certain justice,” added the Attorney.
