“Dear PoPville,
I was surprised and disappointed today to find Recoil gun magazine next to the People and Vanity Fair at the checkout at my neighborhood Giant. Really, Giant?
Do I need to tell you the reasons why I don’t want submachine guns advertised to me? Do I have to explain that my eight-year-old son is standing next to me? Do I have to explain that but for the Heller decision DC would have appropriately strict gun laws? Do I need to remind you, Giant, that the shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde have maybe, possibly finally shamed Congress toward action? In particular, do I really have to point out that in April, but for the grace of God there would have been an ambush at the Burke School JUST TWO BLOCKS FROM THIS GIANT STORE when Raymond Spencer fired 200 bullets from his apartment window.
All of this falls under the category of “things I shouldn’t have to explain.” Giant Food, if you have the slightest common sense or common decency, you will remove them immediately.”
