Since guns are just a tool, like any other, of course a “back to school sale” makes perfect sense. To anybody who’s willing to sell ‘em to whoever walks through the door. I always figured you had to be callous to sell booze or cigarettes, but it’s only been the last 20 or so years since I added selling weapons.
PS: Some places sell hunting rifles, target shooting guns and the like: Not an ethical problem for me at all. It’s the heavy high-velocity rounds and the military grade “semi”-automatic weapons where I personally draw the line. As, apparently, do most citizens who aren’t in the pay of the NRA.
“Hey!” says the kid, “let’s go in and buy an Uzi along with 100 rounds of ammo”. Too young, you say. Well, the NRA would disagree. For them, a gun sale is a gun sale.

As the comedian said: “You can’t make this stuff up.”

If it were not for gun sales, bullet-proof backpacks would be a waste of money! /s

I don’t know know about guns being a back-to-school thing, but bulletproof backpacks really are. Sigh.
