Walmart, CEO Doug McMillon petitioned to stop gun sales after recent shootings

A petition asking Walmart  to stop the sale of guns was sent to the retail giant’s  CEO Doug McMillon on Tuesday.

The Change.org petition-- which had more than 134,000 signatures as of Thursday afternoon -- comes in the wake of two shootings that took place at Walmart locations in Southaven, Mississippi and El Paso, Texas on July 30 and Aug. 3, respectively.

The petition calls for Walmart to stop the sale of all guns and ammunition, ban firearms from being carried on Walmart properties or in stores and end donations to politicians who are supported by the National Rifle Association.

“We have one demand, and that is all,” the petition says. “We value Walmart and our fellow associates, but we are no longer willing to contribute our labor to a company that profits from the sale of deadly weapons.”
