Oh, hello there. Are you looking for some groceries? Maybe some liquor? How about a shotgun? It’s free with a qualifying purchase.
That’s how we imagine stepping into one of the fine establishments below might go. As it turns out, there are a bevy of places that casually sell guns along with other wares. They sell wedding dresses, tanning memberships, and guns. They sell donuts and guns. You know, the usual stuff.
About half of the signs in the pictures are places that have gun promotions, like jewelry stores or car lots that offer “Free Gun” with purchase. The first instance of this lie was here.
For this scene Michael Moore brought a gun with him for that closing scene to make it APPEAR like he was given a gun at a bank. Actually they gave him a voucher for a cooperating FFL that would honor the voucher if you could pass the background check. Most that I know also supply a cash value on the coupon if you want something other than the promotional item, or you got caught with a joint in college.
There are others that are hardware, sporting goods, and general stores. What’s the big deal? I bought my first Mosin Nagant from a sporting goods store. They also sold clothes, tents, canoes, and fishing poles. Depending on your age you might have bought a gun from a hardware store. Hell I’ve owned guns with brands like JC Higgins and Glenfield which were originally only sold through Sears. And General stores? Duhhh!
And a place that sells liquor and guns? Oh the HORROR!!! How many of us have bought beer at a gas station? Just about all of them have a beer cooler, depending on the state laws some have liquor licenses. Does this mean the Irving or Shell station down the street is promoting drunk driving? Hell if drunk driving is illegal why do so many bars have parking lots?
They are anti-freedom, not anti-gun. They’re also pants-shitting cowards!
“casually sell guns” yes because an FFL is so very easy to get.
The ATF hands ’em out like popcorn. Any old hotdog stand can get an FFL in an afternoon.
And the license comes with no expenses, hassles, paperwork requirements, or any other burdens that make “causally selling guns” a near legal impossibility.
I love how the antis scream about the need for new “common sense” laws without being the slightest bit aware of what the current legal situation is.
And that’s not counting the window lickers that think that because you’re explaining what the status quo legal situation is that you 1) agree with the current state of law or 2) think it’s effective.
I realize that control freaks have trouble with logic, but what exactly is wrong with selling both guns and liquor? Liquor stores aren’t generally licensed to serve customers drinks. Anyone who’s drunk will be denied a sale. The real goal here is to make a legal product harder and harder to obtain.
Also interesting that some how stores selling multiple things. We all know LL Bean. My Dad works for them as a fun retirement job, and he says the #1 thing LL Bean sells is woman’s clothing. Of course it has a huge hunting and camping section, so it sells guns, knives, tents, food, toys etc. What exactly is wrong with that?
I know a ton of gun shops that have a T-shirt rack, books, or novelty items, or other products besides guns and ammo that appeal to their customers.
Hell since every shop has the guys that just mill around and shoot the breeze, I’d think a gun shop would make HUGE money selling coffee and snacks. Hell I’ve never been to a gun show that didn’t have a hot dog vender, or somebody selling jerky or chilli. Those guys make a good money!
Somehow there’s something wrong with this?
Anti-Freedom, not anti-gun!
Ah, the womens clothing loophole. We need common sense laws to protect the children from dressing shabbily.
LOL, I’m currently wearing a wrinkled button down shirt missing a few buttons over some ratty shorts and my AR Selector T-Shirt from ENDO Tactical. And a 1911!
I’m part of the problem!!111!!! 😀
One of our favorite places is a “drug store” in a little town about 35 miles away. It does contain a pharmacy, but it also sells all sorts of sundries, camping gear, sewing stuff and yard goods, has a pretty good liquor section, every sort of tobacco product you could want not made in Cuba, and the best gun store for a hundred miles in any direction. We call it the ATF store, and we think it’s awesome. If it only had a decent hardware department I’d move there.
I guess HuffPo would want it condemned and burned down. For the Children, or something.
