Are you saying it's just business owners not wanting to put their stores there?
Because that kind of reminds me of Ferguson, where residents and non-residents burned and looted stores. In fact some of them DROVE (something you claim poor people can't do) to the area specifically to burn the stores. Gee, I wonder why on earth a business owner would pull out of an area like that? Oh hey I have an idea. Maybe if inner city residents would actually purchase something from a grocery store, business owners would put grocery stores around? Nah that's crazy talk. Business owners are all just prejudiced against poor people, that's the reason. The owners of Target, Kroger, Wal-Mart, Whole Foods, Harris Teeter, et al, they're all just prejudiced, right? What a bunch of bigoted jerks.
Oh, wow, would you look at this article I just happened upon... An affordable health food store, Trader Joe's, was going to open up a store in an inner city neighborhood in Portland, Oregon. Unfortunately, the Portland African American Leadership Forum (PAALF) opposed this store in the neighborhood and bullied Trader Joe's into scrapping the project. Gee whiz, I wonder why there aren't any health food stores in inner city neighborhoods? Oh right, because Trader Joe's is a prejudiced organization. Of course.
In any case I still have yet to understand how banning guns is going to help with this grocery store shortage you allege exists. Even if there is a grocery store shortage, I still think it was an idiotic comparison. Resolving a falsely perceived gun issue does nothing about grocery stores (falsely perceived or not).
By the way there are plenty of rules about where something can be built. Titty bars, liquor stores, or XXX book stores can't be built right next to an elementary school. The government could do something useful for a change and create regulations that an apartment building can't be built more than 5 miles from a grocery store. Or they could do a number of useful things. But instead they do nothing and allow organizations like the PAALF to bully businesses like Trader Joe's, keeping them out of inner city neighborhoods. And somehow that's the NRA's fault right? Somehow law-abiding 2nd amendment citizens are to blame. Yeah that totally makes sense.
So... I guess banning guns is what they'll do instead. Does not compute for me. But I'm sure they think it'll really fix the grocery store shortage. And when it doesn't work they will parade over the dead bodies of five year olds and tell us there would be plenty of grocery stores in poor neighborhoods if only they were allowed to confiscate the guns of millions of law-abiding citizens who would never hurt any five year old.
