From one of the original articles opposing gun stores in the city, which set off the protest:
“I feel as if having [a gun store] in close proximity to many schools is a danger,” Sunnyvale Elementary School teacher Gina Lermont told the City Council last week. “I’m not sure if I want to educate my second graders on something like gun safety.”
:banghead:
If you don't, & their parents don't, WHO WILL??
And if they walk past a tobacco store, do you have to educate them about the health dangers related to smoking?
It they walk past a fast-food place, do you have to educate them about the health risks of eating it?
would it be at all forgivable if somebody purchased a gun from there and walked down to one of the local elementary schools and shot?
What an idiot.
Because that's happened SO often in other states, right?
Criminals don't buy from stores, & almost never buy from shows.
And the rep from the national anti-gun group was just as bad.
law enforcement would be able to have the opportunity to inspect the dealer's records and inventory and just make sure everything is being operated safely
They already do. It's called the ATF.
many other businesses have permits and have requirements that they need to follow. It's really a very minimal burden.
After a local FFL explained that he has to have
12 permits & licenses.
I don't call that minimal.
You folks in CA have an even harder battle than WI did, but the times they are a changin'.
You'll eventually be able to exercise your rights like most of the rest of the country.
