To: Doug McMillon, President and CEO, Walmart
Divest from Walmart until they support gun control legislation
Walmart is the largest retailer of guns in the US. https://www.msci.com/documents/10199/a6efa52d-bc66-42a8-a719-d6bd48f1c1b5
If you own any mutual funds, you are likely a Walmart shareholder.
Every time a gun purchased at Walmart is used in a suicide or homicide, we helped to finance that death.
Sign this petition if you will commit to divest from any mutual funds that include Walmart (WMT), and boycott the store. If you own shares of an S&P 500 index fund, pull them out. Don't shop at Walmart either.

Why is this important?
The US has more gun violence than any other country.
We don't have more mental illness, or worse mental health treatment, or worse law enforcement, or fewer criminals in prison.
The only difference is that we have WAY more guns.
The easy availability of assault rifles and other weapons that have no sporting purpose increases the risk of intentional or accidental misuse, leading to avoidable deaths.
The NRA has spread the lie that the 2nd Amendment prevents any kind of regulation of firearms. It doesn't. It was intended to enable national and self-defense via militias during a time in our nation's history when we had no army or police (and no assault rifles).
Mr. McMillon, it's time to be a leader. Stop profiting from death. End gun sales in your stores and use your influence to convince Congress to pass common-sense gun laws.
