But not much'\"> CNBC <\/a>Tuesday whether there\u2019s been customer blow-back as a result, to which he responded, \u201cA little bit. But no, not much. I think most people understand that we\u2019re not trying to make a political statement here. We\u2019re just trying to help create a safer environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new policies were spurred by shootings over the summer at store locations in Mississippi, where two people were killed, and El Paso, Texas, where 22 people were killed.&nbsp; On Monday, there was another deadly incident outside a Walmart in Oklahoma that left three people dead, including the gunman.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s tragic, this most recent event. It looks like a personal situation played out in our parking lot,\u201d McMillon said. \u201cBut El Paso really thrust us into a situation that we wouldn\u2019t have anticipated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McMillon said the company \u201ctook some time to think through what we needed to do\u201d following the August tragedy in El Paso.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur first focus was on caring for the associates that were impacted and the customers\u2019 families that were impacted and all the things related to that,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt\u2019s a very divisive issue, obviously.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/walmart-caves-stops-selling-handgun-and-short-barreled-rifle-ammo\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"walmart-blowback-customers-a-little\" title=\"Walmart CEO on Blowback from Customers after Halting Ammo Sales: 'A little bit.
