A view of Gun City gunshop in Christchurch, New Zealand, March 19, 2019.New Zealand retailer Gun City, which sold weapons to the man accused of shootings at two Christchurch mosques that killed 51 people and injured dozens, has aroused concern with plans for a mega store in the South Island city, media said on Wednesday.
“I don’t think many people will be very comfortable to have guns around their homes in a residential area,” one of the residents, Harry Singh, told the broadcaster.Gun City did not immediately reply to Reuters’ request for comment. The accused gunman, Brenton Tarrant, bought four weapons and ammunition between December 2017 and March 2018, Gun City owner David Tipple said in March.
Tipple told Radio New Zealand he was sorry some people were concerned about the new store, but the chain was “willing and happy to introduce those persons to the positives of firearms”.
Oh journalism... you're so hyperbolic at times... A new 'megastore' of 3000 square feet... Small Cabelas stores in Canada are 30,000 square feet and some as large as 111,000 sq feet. You're manufactured outrage is laughable.
