In this article, we'll take a look at some companies that support gun control. The CEOs of Dick's Sporting Goods, L.L. Bean, Kroger, Walmart, and a variety of other large companies are among the signatories. Despite the companies' varied views, these companies seem to have one thing in common: they all oppose gun violence. Yet, their reasons for opposing gun violence are different.
Dick's Sporting Goods
In April, the CEO of Dick's Sporting Goods hired a lobbying firm to advocate for gun control. Dick's Sporting Goods spent no more than five thousand dollars to lobby Congress Hill. This is in contrast to the National Rifle Association. The company decided to withdraw from Capitol Hill following the midterm elections. A Dick's spokesperson told Business Insider that the CEO felt no progress had been made during his meetings with lawmakers.

Walmart
Walmart is making strides towards gun control, despite the fact it has been a major retailer of ammunition and handguns over the years. In response to the recent Florida school shooting, the company announced it would no longer sell handguns and certain types of ammunition. It also stated that customers will not be allowed to purchase openly carried guns in shops. This is in line with similar moves by Wal-Mart, Target, and Wal-Mart.
L.L. Bean
L.L. Bean supports gun control. It is a large sponsor of Sportsman's Alliance of Maine which is a non-profit organization that promotes hunting, outdoor activities, and wildlife conservation. It also finances youth programs. It is notable that this non-profit organization has opted to support gun controls. This is the only business to support the initiative. However, the company has faced backlash for its decision. The company did not criticize Kroger or Walmart for raising the minimum age required to purchase a firearm.
Kroger
There are many reasons for or against allowing guns to be carried in retail stores. While some retailers allow handguns to be carried in their stores, others prohibit it. McDonald's and Starbucks are two examples of companies that have banned open carrying. However, the most convincing argument is the fact that it is in public interest to prevent such tragedies. Kroger is no stranger to this. Kroger's policy is to respect local firearms laws.
REI
While it might seem incongruous that REI purchases gun control products while supporting gun control seems odd, it is important not to forget that REI does not have any affiliation with the firearm industry. The company, despite its support for gun controls, promotes racial hatred, anti-government sentiment, fear mongering. You can consider skipping REI products if your safety and that of your family is important to you. It is unlikely this boycott will lead to gun violence.

YWCA U.S.A.
The YWCA began as a nonprofit organization that focused on the needs of women and children. Grace Dodge was an independent, wealthy woman who actively participated in the organization as well as similar charities in New York. The YWCA was able to serve 186,000 women through 608 local YWCAs by 1907. In 1911, the YWCA was awarded its own headquarters building, financed in part by six well-heeled members.
