Here Are The Gun Retailers Not Making Changes After Parkland

WASHINGTON ― In the span of a day, three major gun retailers changed the way they sell firearms in response to last month’s school shooting in Parkland, Florida.

Dick’s Sporting Goods is no longer selling military-style semi-automatic rifles like AR-15s ― the type of gun used in many recent mass shootings ― or high-capacity magazines, which enable shooters to fire more rounds without having to reload. The retailer will also stop selling any guns to anyone under age 21.

Walmart, which stopped selling military-style rifles in 2015, will no longer sell any guns to people under 21 and will pull items from its website that resemble military-style rifles, including toys and airsoft guns that shoot plastic pellets. Fred Meyer, which previously pulled military-style rifles from many of its stores, will now impose the same age restriction for all gun sales and ammunition.

These three companies alone make up a large portion of the gun retail market. Walmart, for one, is the world’s largest retailer and has 5,358 stores in the United States.
