I for one support the drawing of hyperblobs.

If we look at our existing repertoire of shop=* values, it's pretty 
clear that we aim for plain language when possible, although we do 
sometimes fall short.

shop=curtain, not shop=window_treatment
shop=doityourself, not shop=building_material_and_supplies
shop=furniture, not shop=home_furnishings
shop=gift, not shop=souvenir or shop=novelty
shop=haberdashery, not shop=needlework_goods
shop=second_hand, not shop=used_merchandise
shop=shoes, not shop=footwear

Industry classification schemes are a better source of inspiration for 
POI classification than individual laws. Unfortunately, the wiki's NACE 
(Europe) [1] and NAICS (North America) [2] correspondence tables reveal 
a lot of gaps in our tagging schemes, but they do give a sense of which 
terms would be well-recognized and maybe how to classify them. For what 
it's worth, the Sporting Goods Retailers subindustry in NAICS includes 
"gun shops". [3]
