- Do me a favour,
don't block the door.

1:46:02
Just off to the side,
if you would.

1:46:03
- Will go outside and
somebody will come out.

1:46:05
- My name's Laurie McTavish.
1:46:06
I'm the Vice-president of
Communications for K-Mart.

1:46:09
I'm happy to deliver a statement
on behalf of the company.

1:46:12
What happened in Columbine,
Colorado, was truly tragic

1:46:16
and touched every American.
1:46:18
We're sorry for the...
1:46:20
disadvantage to this young man.
1:46:22
K-Mart is phasing out the sale
of handgun ammunition.

1:46:25
The business plan calls
for this to be complete

1:46:29
in the continental U.S.
within the next 90 days.

1:46:33
- Wow! Wow!
1:46:34
- K-Mart representatives met
with Mr. Moore

1:46:36
and the students from Columbine,
Colorado, yesterday,

1:46:39
and listened to their concerns
about the product

1:46:42
carried in K-Mart stores.
1:46:44
The company committed,
at the end of that meeting,

1:46:47
that K-Mart would have an answer
for them within a week's time.

1:46:51
- Well, the first thing we want
to do is thank you

1:46:54
for committing to no longer
selling handgun ammunition

1:46:57
in your stores.
And within 90 days--

1:46:59
- The process will be phased out
within 90 days.

1:47:02
- And after 90 days,
there will be no more selling

1:47:04
of ammunition that can go into
handguns or assault weapons.

1:47:07
- Firearm ammunition, will be...
We will not sell it,

1:47:10
after 90 days, in our stores.
1:47:12
- We greatly appreciate that.
- Thank you.

1:47:14
- Thank you very much. Thank you.
That's very brave.

1:47:20
Thank you. Wow!
1:47:21
That blows my mind. That's
more than what we asked for.

1:47:25
- It's remarkable.
- Yeah. Well, like I told you--

1:47:28
- I didn't think--
- Did you think?

1:47:30
- No!
- We're like, uh...

1:47:32
We're just getting ready to...
We're going to the airport.

1:47:36
The kids from Columbine had
scored an overwhelming victory

1:47:39
against K-Mart
and it inspired me

1:47:41
to do something that
I knew I had to do.

1:47:45
All I needed... was a star map.
