Wal-Mart provides movie selections in our stores and online, recognizing that a broad segment of our customer base wants to buy the latest titles. We serve a broad customer base and therefore offer an expansive assortment of movie titles to meet the needs of the diverse consumers that shop our stores.

In the interest of the safety of our consumers we are cooperating with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on the recall.

As with all merchandise decisions that we make, our decision to remove guns from Wal-Mart locations is simply based on the lack of customer purchase history of firearms in a given community.

This decision is based on diminished customer relevancy and demand in these markets.
