Gun Store Owner to Obama Voters: You Are Not Welcome
Gateway Pundit ^ | 11-17-2012 | Jim Hoft

An Arizona gun store owner said he will not sell weapons to customers who voted for Obama.
They’re too stupid.

Not Welcome

Todd Starnes reported, via FOX Nation:

The owner of an Arizona gun store said he will not sell weapons to customers who voted for President Obama because “you have proven that you are not responsible enough to own a firearm.”

Cope Reynolds, owner of the Southwest Shooting Authority in Pinetop, Ariz., posted the new store policy in a newspaper advertisement — as well as on a sign posted on the front door.

“If you voted for Barack Obama your business is not welcome at Southwest Shooting Authority,” the ad reads. “You have proven that you are not responsible enough to own a firearm.”

The Southwest Shooting Authority is a family-owned, family-run business that Reynolds opened in 2004. He told Fox News that he’s absolutely serious about the new policy.

“I’m a small business owner,” he said. “If you are dumb enough to vote for Obama again – after four years of this — I don’t think you are responsible enough to own a firearm. I don’t care who it makes mad.”

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Here in NYC, some stores owned by gays tell you not to shop if you don’t support “gay marriage.”

Love it!

I'm still dumbfounded that anyone could have voted for Obama again. My neighbors put up 3 Obama signs within the last 2 weeks of the election (an older Jewish couple). I can't look at them without thinking "stupid" is printed across their foreheads!

I’m with the gun store owner. Words cannot describe how much I hate the bastards. They have, in my opinion, murdered a great Country...a way of life.

Wow.

Let's see the ACLU get involved to protect the rights of obama voters who want to buy guns...HAHAHAHAHAHA

If they do, this guy is a marketing genius, being forced to sell his product to a whole group of people that probably wouldn't buy there in the first place.

Sounds like a given to me.

“A man who apparently doesn’t understand the constitution....”

Excuse my ignorance, but where in the constitution does it say that a private business MUST sell to everyone? Don’t restaurants frequently have a sign that says “We Reserve the Right to Refuse Service”?

I understand the laws against discrimination based on race, religion, etc., but NOT selling to those who have already demonstrated diminished mental capacity seems like a great way to avoid potential lawsuits as well.

Good for him. I salute his honesty and bravery. The backlash could be interesting but does anyone want to guess at how fast he gets his FFL pulled?

He has no obligation under the constitution to sell his guns to anyone he doesn’t want to.

This is exactly how to fight liberal fascism.It may violate 2nd amendment rights but then the left has been violating constitutional rights of the individual with presidential executive orders.

But this is the way to proceeed. The line in the sand has been used by the left, so why not the right?

My kind of gun store (actually the all are my kind!) Went to “The Big Show” gun show here in Reno yesterday morning. Friday morning and the place was packed. Can’t imagine what Saturday afternoon will be like.

About your older Jewish Neighbors, another encounter with an older couple. We attended a dinner and were seated next to an older couple and struck up a conversation. My wife learned that the lady had been raised in Yugoslavia and had lived under the Nazi’s and Tito so was familiar with a totalitarian way of life. My wife made some comment (I didn’t hear it) and the lady said “You’re not a Republican are you?” with a tone of disdain. Needless to say that brought the conversation to a quick halt since they were older and obviously couldn’t be swayed. So I must agree with you about the big “S” being stamped on foreheads.

Hopefully this Administration won’t go after his FFL.

I feel the same way when I look at Obama voters... I think. “what the hell has happened to their brains?”

I’d like to see all kinds of businesses posting signs like this. Obama voters should be shunned at all levels.

It would be interesting to see you flesh out your argument a little, Snark.

It’s just astounding to me that these people don’t support their own homeland. How is it they can’t see Obama is taking us down a path they escaped from?
