Could the tragedy that has befallen Jennifer Hudson’s family have been avoided? Trend Hunter has featured the bedside gun rack before, and now it reappears in the news as a Chicago gun store is using the Jennifer Hudson family murders to sell more of the shotgun bed racks.
Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew were murdered last weekend and a gun merchant exploited the tragedy to increase sales. The “Back-Up” rack fits between the mattress and the box spring on the side of the bed.
