    Walmart will stop selling certain kinds of ammunition following the latest mass shooting that took place in Texas over the weekend.

    The Arkansas-based store announced the decision Tuesday after weeks of protests against their gun policy. The company said they will stop selling handgun and shot-barrel ammunition, and will instead focus on selling ammunition they believe is more commonly used for hunting, the Associated Press reported(RELATED: Chicago Mayor Blames Republicans For City’s Violence)

    “We have a long heritage as a company of serving responsible hunters and sportsmen and women, and we’re going to continue doing so,” Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said in a memo, according to AP.

    Anti-gun activists began demanding the company curb their gun sales last month after a white supremacist shot up a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, killing 22 people, and injuring 26. (RELATED: Donald Trump Condemns White Supremacy After Mass Shootings In El Paso, Texas, And Dayton, Ohio)

    Following the tragedy, Walmart’s corporate employees staged a walkout, protesting the company’s firearms policy. Calls for gun control were renewed after another mass shooting Saturday, when a shooter killed seven people in Odessa, Texas.
