Walmart Inc. has no plans to stop selling guns or ammunition, or change any other security practice following the Aug. 3 shooting that killed at least 20 and wounded 26 shoppers at an El Paso, Texas store, a spokesman for the company said Sunday.
沃爾瑪發言人周日時表示,該公司沒有停止銷售槍支或彈藥的計劃,也沒有改變任何其他已有的安全措施。8月3日,得克薩斯州埃爾帕索一家沃爾瑪商店發生槍擊案,造成至少20人死亡,26人受傷。
「Our focus has always been on being a responsible seller of firearms,」 company spokesman Randy Hargrove said in an interview. 「We require all customers to pass a background check before purchasing any firearm.」
該公司發言人蘭迪?哈格羅夫在一次採訪中說道:「我們一直致力於成為一個負責任的槍支銷售商。我們還要求所有客戶在購買任何槍支之前都要通過背景調查。」
He added that in 2015 Walmart stopped selling what he called 「modern sporting rifles,」 which generally refers to military-style semi-automatic rifles. It also removed from its website any air gun or toy that might resemble assault weapons, he said.
他補充說,2015年,沃爾瑪停止銷售了他所稱的「現代運動步槍」,這通常指的是軍用半自動步槍。他指出,沃爾瑪還從其網站上刪除了任何可能類似攻擊性武器的氣槍或玩具商品。
Last year, Walmart raised the minimum age for gun purchases to 21 from 18, he said.
他表示,去年,沃爾瑪將購買槍支的最低年齡從18歲提高到了21歲。
The shooting occurred at a Walmart where every employee received required 「active shooter」 training, given four times a year in association with Texas State University.
哈格羅夫聲稱,此次發生了槍擊事件的沃爾瑪每年都與德克薩斯州立大學聯合進行四次培訓,在這裡工作的每位員工都會接受所要求的「主動射擊者」培訓。
「There』s not been any directive to any stores around the country to change any policy,」 Hargrove said.
哈格羅夫表示:「目前還沒有任何指令要求全國各地的商店改變任何政策。」
