[3rd Reuters]-US retailer Walmart Stores <WMT.N> will sell ammunition for handguns and highly-killed rifles at stores across the United States as a measure against shootings in Texas and Ohio on the 3rd Announced to stop.
The company also stopped selling pistols in Alaska, where it sells pistols.
This time we will stop selling ammunition from all pistols and some ammunition from short barrel rifles. Stop after current inventory is exhausted. Short barrel rifle ammunition is commonly used for some hunting rifles, but it can also be used for military firearms with large magazines.
Wal-Mart said that this sale suspension would reduce the market share of ammunition from about 20% to about 6-9%.
