Why are people acting as if we don't know whether Sterling had a gun or not
....my guess is that it's because the video of the incident that has made the rounds doesn't clearly show a gun or Sterling's right hand.

Ok, I can see that the item that the cop pulled out the pocket is small and not completely identifiable on the video.
So why did the pro-Sterling store owner, who filmed the video, say it was a gun?

Exactly. The videos aren't clear enough to show that it's a gun, but I believe it's very likely it is.
And honestly, it doesn't really matter either way. They pulled something from his pocket in the video, after he was shot. It resembled a gun, although the video was grainy. This confirms that it was reasonable for the officers to believe he may gave had a gun in his pocket and was struggling, trying to reach for it. The officers couldn't control his arm that was reaching for the pocket. Why is it so hard for people to wrap their brains around how it may be justifiable to shoot someone who may have an opportunity to shoot you?

not sure why you're being downvoted. Just because it's been "reported" that there was one, a lot of people will only accept what they can see. "If I didn't see it, it didn't happen." (not me, just how a lot of people think)
