Gun Shop Owner to Vets: 'You NEVER FOUGHT FOR ANY OF MY FREEDOMS!!!!!'

Michael Schuette, owner and operator of Outlaw Guns in Anniston, Alabama, has stirred a hornets' nest with his Facebook post on Veterans Day in which he slammed vets saying, "You are NOT hero's." [sic]

Here is a screenshot of his rant:

As the post began making the viral rounds Tuesday, threats to boycott Schuette's business began. According to YellowhammerNews.com, he and his wife are administrators of a 5,000-member Facebook group for their shop. The two also have a separate business website for the hydro-graphics side of their business. That site was also bombarded with threats of boycott.

Shortly after his initial rant -- which apparently he does every year -- he posted an update to his personal Facebook page:

Another screenshot from Tuesday was posted to his wife's Facebook page showing no remorse:

Someone even uncovered a screenshot of a previous post where Schuette threatened violence against a local police officer, "badge or no badge."

By Wednesday, Schuette attempted an apology for his comments and begged for the threats, which apparently became more personal, to stop:

The term "heroes" is a bit overused. I'm a Destroyerman vet. USS Henry B Wilson (DDG-7) 1978-84 B Division.

I consider military heroes guys who jump on grenades to save their buddies, Guys who wipe out nests of headchoppers with a pistol and a K-Bar. Audie Murphy and Alvin York types. Yes, very rare and mostly KIA's

This bozo sounds like a commie lib girlyman. What the hell is he doing selling guns? I would have expected him to run a women’s underwear store or something like that.

Has he never understood the direct link between weaponry and armed resistance? I think next Veteran’s Day, if he is still in business at all, his wife will give him a STFU look at the start of that day. Don’t you EVEN go there again! Another fine mess you’ve gotten us into. Thanks!
***IMO,,,Death Threats is wrong, and way overdoing it. We don’t want to become like the Gestapo, or the Taliban Correctness Police, do we?

Sounds like the guy is just not too smart. Anniston is very conservative plus it has an Army base located there.

BTW, tho she spells it with one “N”, Jennifer Aniston’s Father took Aniston as their last name after passing through Anniston, Alabama.

The death threats aren’t necessary. Just boycott him and make sure everyone on FB knows who he is and what he stands for.

This fruitcake obviously never understood his own customer base. Now he gets to find out the hard way that 95% of them are stridently opposed to everything he wrote in his little screed.

Nice business you had there, mate. Too bad you had to go and wreck it by showing folks who you really are.

So giving up your freedom while preparing to fight and possibly die in service to the Country is just as good a ditch digger to this guy? I would love to see these people say crap like this to my face just 1 time.

I saw a Navy Chief end his career pushing a young seaman out of the way of a parted cable that nearly took the Chief's leg off instead. That was in "peacetime". Don't talk to me about heroes.

I won't be talking to "Outlaw Guns" about purchasing any firearms, either.

I'm a vet and don't consider myself a hero at all. A hero in my book is someone who does something extraordinary to overcome impossible odds or sacrifices their own welfare for that of their fellow human beings. I think the word hero is thrown about too easily in today's age. You don't automatically become a hero just because you don a uniform.

This guy sounds like a complete drunken moron. I hope he’s out of business in a week.

I’d really like to say more, but I won’t.

I hope the business fails. I see the corporate interest stuff, but the average soldier, sailor, Marine, airman, has NOTHING to do with that and do indeed fight for our freedoms.

This immature rant just left me cold.

I just wish I could boycott his shop and his FB page, but I am not on it already.

"YOU WANNA MEET HERO'S???? Well shake hands with CIVILIAN EMT's, Nurses, Firefighters, Lawyers,..."

We already know that your local government friends hate us, as they've shown us over the years. But we're not concerned about their penis envy. Thanks for letting us know that you hate us, too, so that you can rely more on your favored, officious customers and their fat debt/revenues.

We'll watch the news for the trashy bureaucrat, suburbanite riots that your regulating kind have been fomenting and planning to start after your layoffs caused by the default process (caused by your bipartisan, bureaucratic kind). We'll save some popcorn for watching the sequel to Greece.
