Gun Store owners deserve the same treatment, but with pictures of the dead of Uvalde, Parkland, Newtown, etc. I mean literal pictures of the corpses on giant placards.

The information is that it was a legal purchase from a federally licensed dealer. MY question is how did they confirm the kid had just turned eighteen if he didnt have a drivers license.

but with the die already struck. The free advertisement from a day or two or protesting would bring in the gun-nut crowd and probably sell out the store.
