Wal-Mart Will Stop Selling Assault Rifles, Will Still Sell Shotguns 
--------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Meanwhile, retail giant Wal-Mart has announced it will no longer sell
assault rifles in its stores, although it will continue to sell
shotguns. The move, confirmed Wednesday, will end the sale of sporting
rifles, which are similar to the military's AR-15 assault rifle.
Wal-Mart said the decision was not impacted by gun politics.
