We have grocery and bakery.

Stores that sell firearms and stores that primarily sell knives are
basically distinct entities, even though there is commonality.   Knife
stores are typically either high end kitchen only, or generalists with
kitchen  knives and artisanal knives, along with practical outdoors-type
knives.

In English, the adjective for the shop tends to be singular, when that
adjective is a noun.  The plural just sounds funny.  For example we have
"car dealer", "grocery store", "grocery store", "cell phone store", etc.
So I am fine with shop=guns being viewed as a typo for shop=gun.
