Why do you constantly deflect? Guns are an issue. You need to admit this. This does not mean it is the only issue. Drunk driving is also an issue. I am also against that. But no drunk driver has ever crashed in to an elementary school and killed a class full of kindergarteners. Try to stick to the discussion.

Not PP to whom you are responding. However, drunk drivers kill far more kids than guns. Alcohol ruins more lives than guns, too--but I don't have the stats on that. Are you going to picket the liquor stores?

Excellent points and CDC link. Thank you.
One can only wonder how many of these pseudo-concerned parents are showing their children how to drink and drive? Oh, only a few? Dad and Mom can still drive, huh? They aren't really drunk, are they? And soon they'll wonder why their kids (at Potomac, Langley, or McLean HS) are drinking and driving.

And they're worried about what? A little gun shop on the side of the road? Your kid's use of alcohol and drugs should be your worry. Oh yeah, "Not my kids. We're a good family." Right. Check out Saturday Night in the Burbs, I'm telling you. By the time you realize your own kid has a problem, it's a little late. GL.

Hostile much?

Arlington didn't want this gun store and neither does McLean, in its current incarnation/location. We will not be silenced, so you better get used to it.

The banks in McLean have "normalized" hold-ups with the use of deadly weapons.

Can anyone please pull up the stats on all the McLean bank robberies in the last 15 years or so? And all other McLean crime at local businesses, including the few bars in town?

Some actual facts here would be handy, no?

You really got us there. You are so right. My kindergartener has been driving her Barbie car under the influence and no doubt she picked that up from us. A few too many juice boxes, I guess. Silly me for worrying about assault weapons that are used to slaughter children on campuses nationwide when I should be focused on the battery operated Barbie mobile that is about to plow down the neighbor's shrubs. Do you even know what an elementary school is?

To have guns in this country and be safe, everyone needs common sense. That is how we stay safe with guns.

There is too much violence for kids these days. They have games, movies and news with too much killing. They don't need to see a machine gun being carted off outside their windows from school.

In this case, owner demonstrated lack of common sense.

In your case, there's lack of 20/20 vision.
The children can't see anything. Are you another one in CA?

You don't really know what children will see from the windows, or to and from their way home, do you?

Did you always lie non-stop or did you just pick up the habit when someone criticized your guns?

The debate over gun control in the United States doesn't take place in a vacuum.

Other countries all over the world play the same video games and have the same mental health problems as the United States, but manage to avoid a sky-high gun murder rate and frequent public shooting massacres.

The differences are due, in part, to the way that the different countries regulate gun ownership.

Which civilized country neglects its children the way we do?

You are right. Only in the U.S. would we do the disservice to our children of opening a big gun shop next door to an Elementary school. Other than that you know not of which you speak.

Let me pose this question, if an abortion clinic opened next to a Catholic Church, would you be okay with that? I mean, abortions are legal and all, so why not let them happen 23 feet from where you worship?

It's about knowing the community, respecting social norms and understanding there is an appropriate place for gun shops. Think about it. No one is denying you your guns, we're just asking you to not buy them 23 feet from our 4 year olds.

+1000000 Amen

If you travel, why not look around a bit to see how other cultures parent/care for their children.

My neighbor tells me the store is visible from 5th grade classroom windows. Maybe or maybe not the front door but maybe they get shipments in the back and the children can see. Her child is in that 5th grade class.

You must be one of the pro-guns from CA.

WTH are you talking about. I do not follow honestly. I am from an Asian country that do not allow guns. A weapon in a holdup means knife. And let me tell you about the reputation of America there. Some of the less traveled from my Asian country think they need to bring their own bullet vest for travel. Practicing to duck is part of the prep for travel.
