Fred Meyer is getting out of the gun business.

The Portland-bases retailer said it is working on a plan to phase out sales of firearms and ammunition "responsibly."

In a news release, the company said the decision is based on "changing customer preferences" and declining sales. The retailer says it also wants to optimize space in Fred Meyer stores.

The company said gun and ammunition sales account for about $7 million a year in revenue but sales continue to decline.

Fred Meyer has 132 stores in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska.
