March 1, 2018: What to Know
L.L. Bean is the latest retailer to change its policy regarding the sale of rifles, the company said in a tweet late Thursday.
Kroger's decision comes after Dick's and Walmart announced on Wednesday that they would both increase the purchasing age of firearms to 21.
Dicks Sporting Goods and Walmart have changed who they sell guns and ammunition to.
In the aftermath of the February 14 shooting, pressure has mounted on politicians at all levels of government, but particularly state lawmakers in Florida, in the the middle of the 2018 legislative session to act on gun control and for corporations to cut ties with the National Rifle Association - which many are doing.
The announcements from the major national retailers came as students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., returned to class for the first time since a teenager killed 17 students and educators with an AR-15 rifle two weeks ago. "You never know now what is coming down the gun barrel". The Company also owns and operates Golf Galaxy, Field & Stream and other specialty concept stores, and Dick's Team Sports HQ, an all-in-one youth sports digital platform offering free league management services, mobile applications for scheduling, communications and live scorekeeping, custom uniforms and FanWear and access to donations and sponsorships.
Sporting goods chain Bass Pro Shops, which owns Cabela's, didn't respond to requests for comment.

"As we look down at what happened down in Parkland we were so disturbed and saddened by what happened and we said we really need to do something so we chose to not sell any assault weapon rifles in any of our stores", said CEO of Dicks Sporting Goods Ed Stack. Nor did the Outdoor Retail Association or Gander Outdoors.
Customers at Dick's Sporting Goods thought the change was sensible.
"It is a risky game but you can't please everyone", said Joseph Feldman, a senior managing director at Telsey Advisory Group.
Visser hopes the government can get to the root of the problem with these mass shootings, which he says isn't guns. The company's third-quarter results and fourth-quarter forecasts were much weaker than Wall Street expected, and its stock fell 11 percent in aftermarket trading, while Sturm, Ruger fell 6 percent.
"We did everything by the book", Stack said of Cruz. He also called for the closing of the private sale and gun show loophole that enables purchasers to escape background checks.
Siguaw said companies go through a process of risk versus reward. The company said Thursday that it would "no longer accept any special-orders of these weapons in Alaska".
