A gun reportedly found in the toy aisle at a Myrtle Beach Target
store is being seized on to pressure the retailer and others into
banning guns from their stores. The firearm, an inexpensive Hi-Point 9
mm semi-automatic handgun, was reportedly found by a loss prevention
worker, NBC’s WMBF News reported in a still-updating story.
The incident draws further attention to a controversy that anti-gun
activists have seized on to with media support, and one that has caused
no small amount of argument within the pro-gun community over the
advisability of putting businesses in the middle of open carry protests.
Even NRA was drawn into the controversy with a statement using words
like “weird” that was later partially pulled back as unauthorized.
The debate aside, one Target customer interviewed in the WMBF story made an observation that has set sides to pointing fingers.
"I don't think someone would accidentally drop off a gun. I think he
purposely left it there for a child to pick up and think, 'Oh it's a toy
gun,' and accidentally point it at somebody and it goes off," shopper
Kennedy McClain offered.

Could it have been a gun planted there by the anti-gun crowd?
How is this not a spam statement?
