Remove weapons from sports stores; Hunting is no sport for animals.

The Issue

A sport consists of voluntary participants who have a great time playing a game. Using the word sport to describe terrorizing, maiming and killing animals just trying to survive belittles animals' purpose on earth. Selling deadly weapons alongside regular necessities helps normalize using these weapons for fun, which only fosters aggressive behavior towards animals, and possibly other people.

Let's move deadly weapons to stores of their own, so they are only shown to the people shopping for them. Remove items that are designed to cause harm from our everyday shopping experiences. Don't help children grow up thinking it is good to kill whatever they want, because many violent people have histories of disregarding life, and we should not cater to any killing for "sport" when actually, it's pure barbarism made to look like family fun.
