Gun sales curbed after shootings amid calls for action
Dick's and Walmart faced protests as they paused sales of assault-style rifles after the Sandy Hook tragedy. Dick's said a Florida gun purchase by Nikolas Cruz weeks before the attack highlighted gaps, while Walmart emphasized online and in-store adjustments. Stack urged a ban on assault-style firearms, bump stocks, high-capacity magazines, and a 21 minimum age, framing gun violence as an epidemic while defending Second Amendment rights.
