The nation's largest seller of firearms says
it will toughen rules for gun sales, from storing video of
purchases to creating an internal log of which guns they sell that
are later used in crimes.
The chief compliance officer for Wal-Mart today appeared with
gun control advocate Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York to
announce the changes at a gathering of Bloomberg's group Mayors
Against Illegal Guns.
Changes at the stores that sell guns will include the creation
of a record and alert system to record when a gun sold at Wal-Mart
is later used in a crime. It will also include expanding background
checks of employees who handle guns and expanding inventory
controls.
Bloomberg is urging other companies to join Wal-Mart in the
initiative called the Responsible Firearms Retailer Partnership.
