I am certain Shooters World researched thoroughly before building a massive store within The Villages. I am horrified to think that many fellow Villagers either own guns already, want to buy guns, or want to practice shooting as part of their retirement. I will never understand the love affair with an instrument of death.
I am saddened such a business knows it can make lots of money from a generation who should know that shooting has never solved anything.

"Instrument of Death" says it all. The use of firearms is so much more than what is seen in the movies or pumped out of the biased media!!

DO NOT ENGAGE!!!

You likely drive "an instrument of death." A law-abiding citizen without protection is easy-pickings for a criminal with ill-intent. Tim

Okay, I'll bite... What makes you think everyone who owns a gun intends to use it as an instrument of death? That's certainly an over-reaction, IMO. I know some law-abiding, peaceful people who enjoy the sport of shooting at a target. You should be thankful that Shooters World is providing a safe environment for people to engage in their sport.

What about Home Goods selling knives, you don't even have to sign for those and they too are instruments of death? What about those who text and drive, are they too the dreaded instruments of death? And let's not forget our Villagers that drive home from the square after 6 or 8 drinks. Last but not least, what about those arsonists buying butane lighters at the Dollar Store? What to do, What to do???

I think it best to leave this one alone. Absolutely nothing is be gained by engaging.

I absolutely disagree.

A subject that is involved in many mass killings, that ties up so much lobbying money (YEAH, we still have many lobbyists in Washington (perhaps more than ever) and instills fear in some and false machoism in others is better for discussion than dog poop or golf car parking.

Stop "engaging" and you lose an awful lot on this or any other subject close to America.

You have a right to your opinion, but to "not engage" is EXACTLY what our leaders choose to do. Not having discussion does nothing.

Mine hasn't shot anybody and won't unless they make me. It's a training facility just like the Air Gun range by Rohan Rec Center and the Bow & Arrow range on the North Side. It will be a very busy and successful business in TV.

I can understand people who don't like guns. And, if all of the guns in the country suddenly disappeared, it might make sense to discuss some type of ban on them. But, since there is no way that will happen, I am in favor of allowing law abiding citizens to own a gun. Otherwise, we are at the mercy of criminals who have guns. To me, that is just common sense.

You wouldn't believe how many paper targets my "Instruments of Death" have killed..
