Elizabeth Warren Calls On Walmart To Stop Selling Guns Following El Paso Shooting
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Friday implored retail giant Walmart to do the right thing stop selling guns, following this weekends mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, which took place at one of its stores.
Sometimes, companies recognize that they have an obligation to the lives, health, and safety of their communities, the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate tweeted Friday, citing CVS, which stopped carrying tobacco products in 2014.
Companies that sell guns have a responsibility to the safety of their communities, she said. Walmart is one of the largest gun retailers in the world. The weapons they sell are killing their own customers and employees. No profit is worth those lives. Do the right thing stop selling guns.
Walmart did not immediately return HuffPosts request for comment.
