"What Walmart CEO Doug McMillon got wrong: There's no debate about the effectiveness of gun safety laws," 15 August 2019 

Guns Down America, a bolder, broader movement calling for dramatically fewer guns in America released the following statement after Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said in today’s earnings report that “The Assault Weapons ban should be debated to determine its effectiveness…” “We’re glad that Walmart is continuing to think about these issues and is taking the concerns of its customers and employees so seriously. But there’s no debate: gun reforms save lives and the largest retailer in the world has a responsibility to do everything it can to help Americans build safer communities,” said Igor Volsky, Founder and Executive Director of Guns Down America. “Walmart, which has repeatedly restricted guns sales in its stores, knows better than anyone that raising the standard for gun ownership helps keep us all safe. It’s time for Walmart to use its enormous leverage to push our Congressional leaders to act by announcing it’s ending gun sales, stopping donations to NRA-backed lawmakers, and actively lobbying for gun reform, including a ban on military-style weapons.”

... This week Guns Down America launched the #WalMartMustAct coalition calling on the world's largest retailer to end gun sales, stop supporting NRA-backed lawmakers and use its influence to raise the standard for gun ownership in America.
