Locating a gun store adjacent to an elementary school is obviously ridiculous.

It is really sickening to see that there is a mass shooting almost everyday. How is this acceptable?

Has anyone said it's acceptable?
No.

So then what? "We have a petition with over 2000 signatures!" Okay. So it gets presented to who? Foust? The store owner? What is the expected outcome? I understand the signees don't want the store there, but that's all it is. An expression, but will it really have any power?

I'd be curious to know how many of those who signed actually live in McLean.

No.

Then why is there no law change to address the issues? There is no even willingness from the pro-gun camp to negotiate with the anti-gun camp. In a state of impasse, the status qua becomes routine and acceptable!!

Nobody is saying that mass shootings are acceptable. I don't own a gun. I would not consider myself "pro-gun" or "anti-gun" and I'm not sure what law would address this. I do not think that the government should be taking guns away from people, and to relate back to the original topic, I do teach in an elementary school.

Saw the "shooter's" father interviewed on CNN. He blames the guns. Interview was all about the guns. Not once did I hear him asked about his relationship with his son--when he had last talked to him or seen him. He was not asked about anything but did he know that his son had guns.

Easy to pass the blame when you have relinquished your job as a parent.

The policy is when change.org petitions get 100,000 they get addressed.

1800 is a joke. There are 18,000 asking stores not to stock Caitlin Jenner Halloween costumes.

The issue is psycho's in gun free zones. (100% correlation).

No single law will stop them.

+ 1. It's very. There are no more protesters. They and Foust have shrunk back to wherever they came from. Business-as-usual in mcLean. Go post on one of the active threads about gun violence in America. Nothing happening here.

Um, just because someone isn't standing outside the store with a picket sign doesn't mean this is even close to over. Nothing happening here on this thread because anonymous forums achieve nothing. They said it was over in Arlington and then, well, it wasn't.

If you think McLean is just like Arlington, it just ain't.

Or please point to the homeless shelters or soup kitchens.

Or low-income housing?

McLean is lucky to have sidewalks, you know, because rich people have drivers.

McLean people have a gym for exercise.

You're right! McLean isn't Arlington. It's residents are generally wealthier and more influential and more likely to shut down a business that has decided to taunt the residents by opening a gun store next to an elementary school, which is either intended to piss people off or reflects profoundly poor judgment. Even the pro gun people in McLean don't want this kind of negative attention because it makes gun sellers look like callous jerks who are indifferent to the gun violence used against kids in schools.

What this has to do with the topic at hand is not readily apparent. McLean is like Arlington in its opposition to having a gun store in a safe, family-friendly community.

Nonsense. McLean residents support this store. Now that bloomburgs minions went back to NY.

The weird NY references drive home the geographic and local disconnect of many posters. And when rich folk in McLean want to get something done, I would not want to be on the other side!
