NEW YORK (AP) β Walmart says it will no longer sell firearms and ammunition to people younger than 21.
The retailerβs new policy comes after Dickβs Sporting Goods announced earlier Wednesday that it would restrict the sale of firearms to those under 21 years old. It didnβt mention ammunition. Walmart says the decision came after a review of its firearm sales policy in light of the mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida.
Walmart Inc. stopped selling AR-15 guns, and other semi-automatic weapons in 2015. It doesnβt sell bump stocks, the accessory attached to a semi-automatic gun that makes it easier to fire rounds faster. It also doesnβt sell large-capacity magazines.
The retailer says it is also removing items resembling assault-style rifles from its website.
