Walmart's right to sell firearms and ammunition is being threatened by a lawsuit.
Fox Business Network reporter Adam Shapiro reported on "Fox and Friends First" this morning that a court decision could stop the retail giant from selling guns, which could change the way publicly traded companies do business in the United States.
Shapiro said that Trinity Wall Street Church in New York City owns stock in Walmart.
"The church sued the Walmart when they refused to place a proposal on the shareholder ballot at the annual company meeting," he explained. "That proposal could be interpreted to force Walmart's board of directors to suspend the sale of guns and ammunition."

Never will happen. Walmart makes way too much money off guns and ammo. I used to work at one.
If said commie church don’t like it, they should sell their stock and invest elsewhere.
And consider the fact WalMart OPPOSED the Religious Freedom Act; I’m not sure WalMart is making this a voluntary choice to stop selling guns and ammo.
WalMart is trying to catch up with Apple, Penny’s, Starbucks, Amazon and other fag friendly corporations.
agree on every word.
This is all about the left wing infiltrating big business and churches to get their agenda like homosexuality advanced.
BTW, if they decide to quit selling guns and ammo I may sell all of my stock, providing the stock has not already dropped too much.
Even if this vile fringe group CAN force its stupid proposal on to a shareholder ballot, why is there any reason to expect it will then be approved?
Exactly.
But wait a minute...Walmart caved on religious freedom and a higher minimum-wage. I thought if you appeased leftists, they’d leave you alone?
“Public/private partnership”
Remember when that was fascism..?
That’s not the approach they are taking. They are buying stock and abusing the privilege of the vote process to push leftist agenda. It’s all intended.
Walmart is getting stupid. Seems they have forgotten who their customers are and are pandering to people who would never enter a Wal-mart in their lives.
They make way too much money selling other things to people who buy guns and ammo, too.
Walmart is the biggest single beneficiary of the food stamp program. Big Gov has ‘em by the shorthairs.
If you appease leftists, you ratchet yourself deeper into the trap.
Discount retailer really isn’t my #1 place for things that go boom anyway. Don’t really want to find out the hard way why the prices are so low like has happened with so much other stuff from WalMart.
Buying ammo - what little there is of it these days - is about the only reason I ever go to Walmart anyway!
Well yes, appeasing National Socialist Hitler worked soooooo well, didn’t it?
I can't see Walmart doing this.
Damn it all. Now I gotta stand up to the Left and tell them to go to Hell.
