Back in early August the El Paso shooting happened where twenty-two people tragically lost their lives at the hands of Patrick Crusius. A month later CEO Doug McMillion released an internal memo to Wal-Mart employees regarding ending the sale of firearms and ammunition at Wal-Mart locations. The end of firearm and ammunition sales at Wal-Mart will take place once stores have depleted its current stock of both.
Banning guns is not the answer. Violence will persist and people who want to do these things will find a way. Censorship is not the answer. Banning people there freedom of speech will only fuel the flames.
Yesterday, afternoon a 21-year old man decided to walk into a Wal-Mart in El Paso, TX with an AK-47 and evil intent in his heart. With a calm and ruthless demeanor he begins to shoot indiscriminately into a busy crowd of shoppers. Killing 20 and injuring 26 in the deadly aftermath of his shooting.
