In the aftermath of the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, MSNBC Live host Stephanie Ruhle invited author Igor Volsky on her Monday show to advocate for gun control, condemn the National Rifle Association, and spread some fake news in the process.
During the segment, Volsky condemned the NRA for fearmongering, "They've spent their entire existence telling people that even the smallest piece of gun reform is going to lead to confiscation." Questioning their motives he declared that this was not because certain politicians keep talking about "buybacks," but because the NRA wants to enrich the gun industry and itself so it can buy Wayne LaPierre some "really expensive suits."
Ruhle was not convinced that the NRA should be a roadblock to gun control, "We know the government is powerful, but business is as well. Tom Brokaw said it earlier. Walmart is America" and argued that Walmart needs to do more. She then issued two false statements in two straight sentences, "Walmart is the largest employer in the United States. One of the largest sellers of assault-style weapons." The first falsehood is that the federal government is actually the largest employer in the country, Walmart is the second, but the second and more relevant falsehood is that Walmart is one of the largest gun sellers in the country.
In 2015, Walmart ended sales of modern sporting rifles, including the AR-15. We also do not sell handguns, except in Alaska where we feel we should continue to offer them to our customers. Additionally, we do not sell bump stocks, high-capacity magazines and similar accessories. We have a process to monitor our eCommerce marketplace and ensure our policies are applied."

Do they even sell Toy Guns ? I think I’ll have a look today ,LOL
Does Walmart even sell guns? All I’ve seen is ammunition.
I guess a Ruger 10/22 is an ‘assault-style weapon’.
And Colt was/is one of the biggest sellers of real assault weapons to the military.
MSNBC is Comcast
I believe that the people in the best position to fix a problem are the people closest to the problem.
Let’s take a closer look at these murderers friends and families and associates.
“Does Walmart even sell guns? All I’ve seen is ammunition.”
My thought exacly. The two I frequent do not. If any do it’s not all on ‘em.
No matter who the (misnamed) “progressive” Democrats wanna blame... and how the seek to remove “weapons of war” from our streets, to make us “safe” by making us defenseless... there’s a cold hard reality (note: Democrats don’t do reality… it’s “racist”)...
So far the only effective “solution” to “gun violence” any have seen... is good guys with guns returning the “gun violence” back toward the shooter... till the shooter can no longer shoot.
#TruthIsNotAnApprovedDemocratPolicy
There is conclusive evidence that LIEberal’s constant “gun reform” mantra IS “going to lead to confiscation.”
DiFi said many years ago that if she could, she would repeal the Second Amendment and confiscate EVERY privately owned weapon in the USA!
She has NEVER moderated her language in regard to the 2nd, and has encouraged other like-minded LIEberal Democrats to join her in her efforts to totally disarm Real Americans!
EXCEPT, OF COURSE, HER (AND OTHER “ESTABLISHMENT” POLITICIANS) WELL-ARMED BODYGUARDS!
Yes. I saw some there a couple days ago. At one time TG&Y (remember them?) sold guns. I got a Dan Wesson from a TG&Y many many years ago.
communist?
Yeah, we are SO CRAZY to think the end goal is confiscation. That's just INSANE!
At least in Wisconsin it has been close to 20 years since I have seen a gun for sale in Wal-Mart.
The Ruger 10/22 is an autoloader? Yep, “Assault Weapon”. Smh
Yes Walmart sells guns and ammo.
No, they don’t sell AR-15s or handguns.
The Marxist Media themselves are an assault weapon on your rights.
They still sell them in Oregon.
Smaller town WMs still sell some firearms. Like you, the WMs I see regularly do not sell firearms, but do sell ammo, etc.
WM used to have on online catalog of firearms too.
Where was this person when a bernie sanders lover was shooting up a Republican baseball game?
