Florida "Muslim free gun supply store"
July 22, 2015 at 9:14 am
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...essee.html
A man in Florida has made his gun supply store "Muslim free" and refuses service to people he believes are Muslim, in the wake of a shooting of servicemen by a Muslim.
He claims this is to "protect patriots". He also says in the video at one point that white policemen gunning down black kids isn't about race (people still think this?)
I think this is really missing the point. Almost every time we hear about a mass shooting in America, it's a white man, yet he's doing nothing to stop that. As I've said before, if I lived in America my position would be that carrying guns should be a lot more tightly controlled and generally illegal anyway, for everyone.
I would guess by his use of the confederate flag and the language he uses, he's also a Christian, which is no better. He's opposing Islam in favour of Christian views which are almost exactly the same, given power.

Bet he'd bitch and moan about his rights if someone tried to take his gun (store) away from him, though.

Exactly, hadn't even thought of that

Because you're a godless communist who wants to take away our guns. -Of course- you don't think about our rights.

I'll just tell him I'm Zoroastrian, he'll be confused, I'll get my gun.

Where was this civic-minded patriot after the Charleston shootings? Never mind. I'm sure he was busy marketing his wares to nervous whites. You can never have enough guns when you're worried about a race riot breaking out. In any case, we all know that indiscriminate mass killings committed by Confederate flag-hugging white guys who claim to be Christian aren't really terrorism. That's just something that brown- and black-skinned people do.
Fucking douche.

You know, the article gave me an idea. A large group of vocal muslims parroting the NRA and supporting 2nd amendment rights might make a certain segment of our populace extremely uncomfortable with themselves. After all, who has a better argument about living in fear of vigilantes and criminals...or even the US government? It would be like waking up with a hankering for penis out of the blue, after having been a lifelong homophobe.

A white guy goes into a school and guns down several little kids, it's "mental illness". Never "terrorism", no no only Muslims do that.

You know, you really need a hyphen between "Muslim" and "free" in the title. I sincerely thought this was going to be a story about a store giving out free guns to Muslims.

The guy stands in front of a battle flag of an enemy army which took up arms against the US and he speaks of patriots.
