The Kroger Company, which has more than 2,000 locations in the U.S., does not sell firearms. You’d think otherwise from reading the news Thursday morning. Funny thing — there’s been a lot of this going around lately.

CBS News had the breaking alert: “Kroger, the nation’s biggest grocery chain, will no longer sell guns to people under 21 years of age, the company says.” The Wall Street Journal claimed elsewhere: “Kroger to Stop Selling Guns to Buyers Under 21.” Time magazine said, “Kroger Will No Longer Sell Guns to People Under 21.”
