Kroger’s made the same virtue signaling decision after the Stoneman Douglas shootings. Locally, that meant that Fred Meyer quit selling guns. No biggie. They’d quit before, and only started again when Obama made selling guns as easy as pie. If they make a profit on them, they’ll make room for them.
A friend who is gone now once told me an ar15 is like a redneck Barbie doll. My wife of 46 years said that was sexist as we headed for the range to shoot one I built. Dress em up like you like them was Rick’s motto. My wife just likes the recoil and the shooting. The building and the banter without the political correctness is what I enjoy. We get out there to the range to cut holes in paper and tip over tin. Meeting the other shooters is enjoyable. Nice way to spend some freedoms time.
