Fill all those places in a week? You couldn't even get interviews... who'd conduct the interviews?

Individuals can be replaced without disrupting anything. Try to replace an entire industry.



You would have to keep some on to enforce firearms laws to limit when, where, and how civilians could defend their own lives.
