To: Bill Simon, President and CEO of Walmart's US Business and The United States Senate
Do what you know is right
Mr. Simon, President and CEO of Walmart's US business, you have stated that the private sector can move quickly and "simply move forward, doing what we know is right". As the US government begins its battles with the well funded NRA, we ask you to do what is right, set an powerful, family-friendly example for the private sector and immediately stop selling AR-15 assault weapons.
Why is this important?
We need to stop the sale of high powered assault weapons ASAP. The US government seems to be cowed and manipulated by the NRA, meanwhile weapons sales increase. Walmart's CEO announced Tuesday that they are moving ahead to "do what is right" in employee and supplier issues at Walmart because "the beauty of the private sector is that we don't have to win an election, convince congress or pass a bill to do what we think is right. We can simply move forward.
As a concerned former teacher and grandmother of four, I ask him to continue the forward thinking of Walmart and immediately cease sales of AR-15 guns.
