Betcha this ban doesn’t last long...
There will be a lawsuit by Muslims based on 1st Amendment, and they *could* win.
The First Amendment only applies to government -- meaning that the government cannot infringe on our God-given right to free speech and freedom of religion.
Nobody has free speech, or freedom of religion, on somebody else's private property.
To argue otherwise is a typical tactic of totalitarian leftists, and is a big reason why all our Constitutionally protected rights are today under siege.
I understand her sentiment but this is a stupid move.
Convert (pun sort of intended) the range to a private club requiring a membership fee and selection process. And never utter the word Muslim overtly as a reason for refusal. Golf courses and other institutions have ridden that right to free association horse to exclude all sorts of people for years.
(To the author ...)
If Islam was a religion, you'd have a point.
But it's not.
So you don't.
And a private business should be free to refuse product or services as they see fit.
Requirements for entry into the facility shall include making the sign of the cross and eating a pork tenderloin sandwich.
I doubt this is legal. As much as I under her concerns wouldn’t it be better and more effective and cost efficient if she were to served bacon at the front door?
Cant ban people in regards of religion. But just mandate that everyone entering has to pet a dog or a pig.
I’m sorry, there needs to be more of this.
After all, Muslims see fit to exclude non-Muslims from their mosques and from their neighborhoods, and the government won’t do a f’n thing about it. Yet, we’re supposed to sit by and let them play with firearms in our presence, and any tension they cause be damned?
In this case, the Muslims could have done the necessary paperwork to legally obtain arms, and searched for a place to learn to use them. After all, Muslim-only militia training grounds exist all over the United States. Our government won’t touch them—it only cares about so-called right-wing militias.
Don’t they go to a knife range?
(While FFls and range operators have a great deal of latitude in their business dealings, it is doubtful that a blanket ban based upon religion is remotely viable on First Amendment grounds. This is no more legally viable than a ban on Baptists or Catholics.)
Baptists and or Catholics have not openly declared war and openly engaged in war against the United States. Islam has and is.. You can except this fact or you can sit back and watch your country perish.
“Here’s an important point: yes, there are terrorists. There are quite a few terrorists who are followers of this or that sect of radical Islam.
WRONG. There is no “radical” Islam. That is a construct of the Islamist and their enablers like President Obama and the MSM. It is Islam period. Nothing the soldiers of Islam are doing falls outside the Koran which is the guiding document of Islam. Yes there are various factions that believe they are the ones that must destroy civilization and then rule the earth but it all comes down to the same thing. You must die for them to succeed......
She has at last 3 points in her favor. 1. The safety concern is legit - nobody can tell you which Muslim is going to have sudden Jihad-syndrome from just a non-violent jihad supporter. So, its prudent and reasonable under the circumstances including the threats to enact a protective measure until the threat is identified and neutralized.
2. If this ever gets in front of a normal jury with a good lawyer on her side she would be acquitted. People are in fear of Muslims now.
3. To justify her actions if sued she can open up the Muslim violence problem and use all that evidence in support of self-defense; then it comes down to a determination of reasonableness. And, the last thing Muslim’s want is to have their protective cover and lies removed publicly like that.
Ms. Morgan, if I was in Arkansas, I would be shooting there...
Look for CAIR to whine to the media, complain to state and Federal officials, and file discrimination lawsuits.
Muslims are the real victims, ya know. [/s]
Don’t muzzies have their own terrorist training camps where they can get range time?
