Bass Pro Shop

Over the weekend, my family and I went to the new bass pro shop in San Jose. It was very interesting going there after a lot of talk about mass shootings and gun control. We were walking around and there was a lot of different sections. There was a fishing section, an ATV section, a boat section, a food section, and most interestingly a hunting section. In the very back of the store there was a huge display of guns and arrows. It was frightening to see how easy it is to get a gun right by our community. There was a bunch of people looking at guns and trying to buy them. It really put a lot of things in perspective for me. The fact that I can hop on the freeway and go to the store and get a gun is so bizarre to me. It really makes me want some sort of gun purchasing laws in place because it looks so easy to buy a gun. Its a very weird environment to be in because I saw all the moms and dads looking at guns and they even exposed their small children to it! It was just so wild. If anyone else has been there recently or has any thoughts on this please let me know!

  1. I agree with you it's crazy, although luckily most of those are .22 rifles and semi automatic. However, they are still harmful and can hurt people. I think we shouldn't have this easy access to guns.

  2. Agreed, to as why they would sell semi-automatic guns to any ordinary person. If someone owns a gun for hunting or sport purposes, semi-automatics aren't needed. A shotgun or a rife will get the job done.
