1. La Controversia de Publix y el Boicot de Clientes.
La decisión de Publix de permitir la portación abierta de armas en sus tiendas de Florida ha provocado una fuerte reacción negativa entre los clientes, quienes expresan miedo, estrés y la intención de boicotear la cadena, a menudo abandonando sus compras si ven a alguien armado.
- Memo to publix if i see someone with a gun in your store i will abandon my cart and leave the store immediately.
- I will not go into any store nor shop any store where somebodys openly carrying a gun on his hip.
- This is insane, who the fuck needs a gun to go grocery shopping? this will not end well. No more publix for me.
- Publix now allows the open carry of guns in all fl stores. Is that armed man on your aisle the next mass shooter or someone just stocking up for the cookout? how dangerous is this?
- I was at publix this morning and told the manager that if i ever see a gun at the store im going to run, scream, and throw heavy things. And of course call 911. Thats what they told me to do when i was teaching. So thats my plan.
2. La Normalización de las Armas en Espacios Cotidianos.
Los comentarios reflejan una profunda incomodidad y asombro ante la facilidad con la que las armas se han integrado en la vida diaria estadounidense, desde supermercados hasta tiendas de artículos para el hogar, contrastando con la percepción de seguridad en otros países.
- I cant imagine seeing someone in a grocery store with a gun.
- I dont want a gun. I dont want the nra to win on this in my household. But we dont feel safe anymore. This is florida. Everyone i know owns guns, and i know mostly liberals. Fyi fl tourists - assume everyone in publix is packing. They probably are.
- The walmart hunting section is my first conscious moment of becoming radicalized against american gun culture because you all have the wrong damn priorities.
- It beggars belief that black aka blood pudding is illegal in the us, and yet i could wander around the shops carrying a loaded gun like a fashion accessory, and buy an automatic weapon from a supermarket, and nobody would bat an eyelid. The us is absolutely bonkers.
- I sometimes see dudes open carry in our local lowes and its always the dudes who appear least likely to need to defend themselves.
3. La Cultura de las Ferias y Tiendas de Armas.
Las ferias de armas (gun shows) y las tiendas especializadas son descritas como lugares donde la adquisición de armas es extremadamente fácil y donde a menudo se mezclan la venta de armamento con la cultura MAGA, la memorabilia nazi y otros artículos cotidianos.
- Gun shows are a hotbed of unregulated firearms, accessories, ammunition and antiques that are still absolutely serviceable.
- I feel so much safer knowing its perfectly ok for someone like that to walk into a gun show in longview, or amarillo, or and walk out with an ak 47, no questions asked.
- I went to a gun show today. Bought some candied pecans and armor penetrating ammo. Capitalism, amirite?
- My granddad took me to gun shows as kid often. Like, 5050 chance i literally met mcveigh selling shit in the early 90s. After the 1994 awb, it went from hunting and surplus rifles to guns the government doesnt want you to have.
- A combined bourbon bar and gun shop sounds like a healthy combination. America guns.
4. Respuestas al Miedo y la Inseguridad.
Ante el aumento de la inseguridad percibida, los usuarios discuten estrategias de autoprotección, desde simulacros de tirador activo hasta la decisión de armarse, aunque muchos critican la portación abierta como un acto de exhibicionismo o cobardía.
- The only reasonable response to seeing people brandishing weapons in the supermarket is to yell hes got a gun! run for your lives!
- If someone is so scared of groceries they have to be strapped to shopthey are too scared to own, much less wield a firearm.
- I will never step foot in a publix again and if i see someone open carrying i will run outside and call 911. How am i supposed to know they arent some gun nut about to shoot up the place?
- If youre on the left, remember, the best time to buy a gun was 6 months ago. The second best time is today.
- Nothing convinces me youre compensating for something more than open carrying in the grocery store. In a city. With the gun just clipped to your pocket or waistband.
