Restaurant Spurns Those Who Are O.K. With AR-15s

After a gunman killed 49 people in June at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., Anne Verrill, a prominent Maine restaurateur, swung through a range of familiar emotions: frustration, anger, helplessness.

She reflected, too, on her typical response to the nation’s litany of gun massacres.

“We write Facebook posts, we copy and paste, and we talk about it with people who basically agree with us,” Ms. Verrill, 38, said the other day. “We’ve never really done anything outside the box with regard to gun control.”

A large crowd of NRA members need to go in and order everything on the menu. When they serve it, announce that they believe in AR-15’s and the second amendment. Excuse themselves and walk out without eating or paying for the bill.

Is there an interrogation before being allowed to order food? I’m done debating with these loons - not worth the time or aggravation.

How is this different from not baking a cake?

Her business. Her call.

That said, her views on a constitutionally enumerated God-given right should be well circulated so "we" can make sure to avoid such a place. If she's ignorant enough to still call it "gun violence" she's a bit daft to begin with.

There's a great(so I hear) restaurant here in Southport called "Taylor's". But I refuse to step foot in it over their big picture of Obungler they so proudly display on the wall. Who could eat with "that" staring out over the joint? d;^)

Hmmmm.

Book the restaurant for a wedding reception.

Bride and Groom figures on the cake are both holding AR’s.

And this is why women didn't have political power until 1919. Many of them simply do not grasp how the real world operates. This is another appropriate thread for this video.

I agree. In some of these discussions, the only appropriate response is to hit them in the mouth and tell them you will do worse the next time.

If I ever am unfortunate enough to visit the Soviet Northeast in the future I will avoid her business.

How does this idiot know what guns people own? Will she actually throw them out? Will she be sued for discrimination? Will people go to her greasy spoon, order the most expensive things on the menu, and then announce they own an AR and walk out?

I looked at their food and that spurning would be advisable. Foo foo food where you pay a lot for less.
