Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc. announced Wednesday morning it will no longer sell firearms to those under 21 years of age, and is removing assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines from its stores.

The company said its announcement was inspired by calls for tighter gun control from students who survived the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The shooter bought a gun from Dick’s last November.
