Using data from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the agency responsible for running firearm background checks for those purchasing guns, shows that in the first 10 days of 2021, background checks were up 71%.

Walmart removes guns, ammunition at stores, citing ‘civil unrest’

The company also ended the sale of handguns in Alaska, the only state where the discounter sold them.

Opponents of the bill argue the move could lead to people having guns on school property when there is no religious meeting.
