Feb 28 (Reuters) - Walmart Inc said on Wednesday
that it was raising the minimum age at which customers could buy
firearms and ammunition to 21 years.
The U.S. retailer is also removing items from its website
resembling assault-style rifles, including non-lethal airsoft
guns and toys, it said in a statement.
A massacre at a Florida high school two weeks ago has
reopened a fierce debate over gun control in the United States.
