Hell of a sale going on here.

A gun store in Texas hosted a back-to-school firearms sale just weeks after a mass shooting at an El Paso Walmart killed 22 people.
Boyert Shooting Center, in Katy, outside Houston, posted a sign on its marquee earlier this month that said: "Back to school sale August 13th-18th Up to 50% off firearms."
The gun range also promoted the sale on Facebook, highlighting a $999.99 discount on a semi-automatic .50 caliber gun that the shop called a "beast of a rifle."
Local resident Michelle Simons, who took a photo of the range's sign, told KTRK she thought the sign was "jarring."
"In the current climate and in the current culture where we've got school shootings just constantly, mass shootings just constantly, it seems like a real poor choice of words," Simons said. "What does back to school have anything to do with getting guns?"
People on Twitter also criticized the sale, with one person calling it "tasteless and tone-deaf."

Hell of a sale going on here.
Agreed.
My patience for these people has been tapped out for quite some time.
I love it!
And............... Were there half off items?
That’s why true Texans consider such people wimps.
I guess that this was not tasteless or tone deaf either.

“Michelle Simons”...therein lies the problem. Maybe she should just try to mind her own damn business for once, and leave everyone else to heck alone. Who gives a flip what this lib female moron thinks. She can move back to californicator IF it “bothers” her that much. Welcome to Texas.
a sale sounds fine to me, and we need to restore firearms training and sports into our high schools all across America ASAP!
“Perhaps some other stores can have a sale on fainting couches and pearls to clutch.”
I have always admired your way with words! ROFL
I saw that headline and so wanted to post a picture of Mater saying, “I don’t care who you are. That’s funny right there.”.
I almost spewed coffee when I saw that headline.
With apologies to Larry the Cable Guy:
I don’t care who you are; a 50% discount is a 50% discount.
I think I’d fly to Katy, except I’m not a Texas resident and wouldn’t be able to legally purchase. Hmmm. Of course, I could give them an Oklahoma FFL and pay for shipping (still less than the full price).

Bars and Auto Dealerships should be closed after every Death caused by a DUI.
I’m in Katy. This store is literally right around the corner from me. I can verify the sign.
Some certain pistols are 50% off. Most others are in the 15-25% range.
Some people just have no taste whatsoever.
Completely unremarkable, except to say, “wow I wish my local gun shop had back to school sales!”
“Some people just have no taste whatsoever.”
See Post 1 above.
Never go into a gun free zone unarmed.
There is a commercial on the radio that has been playing for years, one of those that creates an annoying jingle you cant get out of your head....
So I substitute a word or two when I hear it and it makes it funny instead of annoying...
