Gun store opening next door to Franklin Sherman Elementary in Mclean

[Anonymous]

Why is it bad that it's near an elementary school? Are you worried kids will go buy guns? Are you worried that the shop's proximity will inspire a nutter to buy a gun and shoot up the school?

No one has answered this: What SPECIFICALLY bothers you about the store being close the the school?

Wow. You guys are a bunch of losers. If it were me, I'd feel better having a gun store next to my kid's school.

And thanks for bringing this up, you haters of the second amendment are free to mobilize. But will people like me.

You do know how stupid you sound, right?

So, let us know the other businesses owned by this landlord.
Some of us would like to frequent them.

If tax-strapped Falls Church City wants to welcome gun merchants to Broad Street, that is their choice. What is clear, however, is that the store is not welcome in downtown McLean. Every local politician in the area except for Barbara Comstock was at the rally this morning protesting the store's location.

Nonsense, maybe a small minority of people. Everyone I know either supports it or is neutral.

Funny, last week was Constitution day. Covered in schools. It's great to live in a free country, despite the threats of a small minority who can't even articulate what the problem is.

You must be doing PR for the gun merchant, because virtually every politician representing McLean was there at the rally today expressing their opposition to the store's location. I don't think they would have turned out in force had they thought their constituents were supportive or neutral.

Word is getting out, and they will be boycotted by people who actually patronized them in the past.

Right, because if, God forbid, anything happens, your kids can sprint to the store, get some guns, come back and protect everyone.

What happens if they can't accommodate all their new customers? Can you help out?

Having followed the Cherrydale thing closely, I strongly encourage the organizers of this protest to look at the website and facebook page the Cherrydale community pulled together. It includes lots of links, including news coverage of gun-related " accidents" that have happened on the premises of gun stores as well as the risk of robberies because gun stores carry a very useful product for criminals. Don't let the 2nd Amendment talking points scare you off. My recollection is that the majority of pro-gun store people in the Cherrydale situation were not even local. The story was publicized through a well-known gun advocacy group and the harassment began. Honestly, I think the shameless bullying did more to empower the community than it did to deter. Good luck!

Great suggestion and, yes, the people defending this are largely from outside the area.

No, they are actually McLean residents, perhaps your neighbors if you're local.

Not really, but don't let that discourage you from perpetuating the lies.

Are they handing out free guns to the kids? If not, what is the worry?
