There's at most two stores in the Midlands (of South Carolina) that focus on used records and none on new recordings.

is there a site that tells you either of these?  How do you define "gun store"?  Are Cabellas?  Bass Pro Shops?  Random pawn shops?  Is Half Priced Books a record store?  They got records!  How could anyone possibly know the proper answer to this if they live a town with more than a couple hundred thou?

Zell am See has neither.

Zero gun shops. Zero record stores.

Although you can buy a lot of CDs, videos and stuff at the MediaMarkt, Hartlauer, Libro and Ellmauer stores.

So I guess „record stores“ win.

8 record stores vs. 6 gun shops, on the first page of Google, and I assume most of page 2 of each are in suburbs.

Yeah that’s what I’m getting. Maybe he doesn’t include the suburbs as being part of his city.

Google Maps would appear to suggest 18 record stores to 4 weapons ones.

Makes sense, although we manufacture a lot of weapons (a state-owned industry, of course), they mostly get sold to Saudi Arabia or Syria to bomb people with. It's not like we're dumb enough to let any random person wonder in off the street and buy a gun.

Gun stores are banned in city limits and there's a record store down the street from me.

Current zoning laws and city policy on issuing licenses makes opening one effectively impossible. Same with St. Paul.

Record stores, though there are surprisingly few of those.

8 gun shops in Birmingham, and an extra 4 in the West Midlands metro area.

7 record shops in Birmingham, and 8 in the metro area.


In my home town, there was a gun shop a few years ago, but its gone now. There is a book shop that has a big records section.

Google lies.  If you click on the map there are 3ish that says Minneapolis under the name on the left, but then when clicked it changes to Bloomington or whatever.  But just further goes to show how stupid it is for cities to ban guns.  They all just open up right on the border of your city.  It's not like people in your city don't have access to guns...legal ones a short drive away, illegal ones closer if you know the right people.

Some people think we pay so much attention to them. Newsflash: The world doesn’t revolve around you! (It revolves around me.)
