Walmart, the United States top seller of guns and ammunition has disclosed that it would stop selling AR-15 and other semi-automatic rifles, and focus more on selling other sports and hunting firearm.
Although the store has claimed the decision was unrelated to high-profile incidents that has taken place in recent times but rather, as a result of lack of customer demand, a Walmart spokesman Kory Lundberg said.
"This is done solely on what customer demand was," said Lundberg. "We are instead focusing on hunting and sportsman firearms."
Wal-Mart recently came under pressure from New York City's Trinity Church, an investor pushing for tighter oversight of sales of guns with high-capacity magazines. In April a federal court ruled in Wal-Mart's favor and vacated an injunction that would have required a vote on the issue at its annual shareholders' meeting in June.
