And here's video of me asking Tulsi Gabbard if Walmart should stop selling firearms. She told me, "That's up to Walmart."

but she's right.

Edit: I gave it another listen. My initial first impression of her remarks was incorrect. Mea Culpa. I should've stopped at my opening sentence.

how? It seemed rather dismissive to me.
A simple yes (or no) would have been more responsive.

but I can't force them to. Maybe if enough people exert enough pressure maybe they will.

Not can we force them.

It was a nonresponsive response...with a side of I don't really care.

When I first watched it(more like listened with half an ear) I was distracted with other things. My bad. After getting some push back I gave it another listen and you and the other posters were right and I was wrong. I'm sorry.

Multi tasking while trying to listen to someone never ends well for me.

If I mess up I own up to it and apologise. Besides, I don't even like Tulsi. Defending her isn't a hill I want to die on.

They follow the law, they don't sell evil "assault weapons", they don't see handguns (except in AK), and age check ammo purchases.

But tell me what way the government can force Walmart to stop selling guns that will pass muster with the Kavanaugh Kangaroo Kourt?

It's always about the money. Walmart will have to lose money due to a boycott before they give up their guns.
They took violent video games off their shelves, but they pretty much said this was going to be temporary.
