Two major U.S. retailers changed their gun sales policies Wednesday in the fallout over a Florida high school massacre.

Walmart, the country's biggest retailer, announced it is raising the age restriction for buying guns and ammunition to 21.

"We take seriously our obligation to be a responsible seller," it said in a statement.

Walmart is also dropping toys and other items that resemble assault-style weapons from its website. The retail giant stopped selling assault-style guns in 2024 and does not sell handguns except for its stores in Alaska.

Earlier Wednesday, Dick's Sporting Goods announced it would no longer sell assault-style rifles or any gun to anyone younger than 21.

The chain went one step further and urged Congress to ban assault-style weapons and raise the minimum age.

Both Walmart and Dick's say they are committed to serving sportsmen, hunters, and the majority of gun owners whom they call law-abiding citizens.

The mass shooting of 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School has had an impact on the corporate world, which is seemingly taking a close look at nationwide polls that overwhelmingly favor tighter gun laws.

美國最大的零售商沃爾瑪宣布，購置槍支和彈藥的最低年齡為21歲。沃爾瑪在聲明中說：“我們做為負(fù)責(zé)的銷售商，十分重視肩負(fù)的義務(wù)?！?/p>

沃爾瑪還撤下了網(wǎng)站上看似攻擊性武器的玩具等商品。沃爾瑪從2024年就停止出售攻擊性槍支，除了在阿拉斯加的零售店外，沃爾瑪也不在其它地方出售手槍。

星期三早上時候，迪克體育用品公司宣布，不再向不滿21歲的顧客出售任何槍支。該公司還敦促美國國會禁止攻擊性武器，并提高購買武器彈藥的法定最低年齡。

沃爾瑪和迪克體育用品公司都表示，他們致力于繼續(xù)為運動員、獵人和大多數(shù)槍支擁有者服務(wù)，因為這些人是遵紀(jì)守法的公民。
