I suggest a boycott of any transgender or anti-2nd Amendment store.

A Portland restaurateur used her business’s Facebook page to speak her mind on assault weapons — inciting a backlash from gun rights advocates.
Anne Verrill, owner of Grace on Chestnut Street, and Foreside Tavern & Side Bar in Falmouth, published the post on Wednesday, along with a photo of an assault rifle similar to the one used in the Orlando massacre.
“I have spent 12 years, intentionally, not being political on this page… Let me be clear, this is not a political issue,” she wrote, according to several reports. “This is a human rights issue. If you own this gun, or you condone the ownership of this gun for private use, you may no longer enter either of my restaurants, because the only thing I want to teach my children is love.”
Verrill, who later deleted the post, told BDN Portland that she stood by her comments, but said she was only addressing a specific firearm.
“I am in no way, shape or form trying to lump a group of people and tell them I will not serve them,” Verrill said. “I spoke very specifically about a specific gun, that was specifically used to terrorize a group of people who are now all dead.”
The message prompted many commenters on Facebook to criticize the post, though some did defend her. The restaurant also received a number of negative reviews, citing the post.
“Big old target now painted on your business now that criminals know you and your patrons do not carry protection,” one person said.

So many in OR are just like her.
Too few are committed, and even fewer are willing to take part in a boycott.
They probably secretly know but are not talking about it. It interferes with liberal paradise.
Those who “condone” private ownership of semi-automatic firearms are also persona non grsta. Cause that would be a thought crime. But she’s not being political.
Hope new owners can make a success of the location after the bankruptcy sale.
Would be a shame if e. Coli showed up in the kitchen.

Now that she has made her ignorance and naivete’ public, no one should go to her crummy, over-priced restaurants. What a fool.
You think this would be tempting to islamic extremists, much?
Especially if alcohol is served!
Wear an AR or AK shaped tie clip or brooch, too!
Hey you stupid bitch, I dare you to put a “Gun-Free Zone” sign in front of you business and your house...
Does anyone know the total number of civilians murdered by other civilians who used military-style rifles in the last 100 years? I’d guess under 3,000 in the United States and less than a hundred thousand in all.
How about the total number of unarmed civilians murdered by government police/soldiers who used military-style rifles in the last 100 years? That is clearly many tens of millions, just counting those murdered by socialist governments.
The loving option that preserves lives is for as many civilians as possible to be armed with AR-15s or with the most current and capable rifle in existence.
BAKE THE CAKE!!!
Oh, by the way, which way to the ladies room?
:)
Suits me. I will be glad to stay my ass out of her establishment.
True enough, but this was in Maine.
I suggest a boycott of any transgender or anti-2nd Amendment store.
Nice rant.
Discrimination against people exercising personal choice in line with their civil rights - in a more just world she’d be on the way to jail......
she's just making a statement which is meaningless and unenforceable....
if she really wanted more "love" in the world then she would seek to end hate which equals moslems....
Put a bird one it. It’d Portland - a lost cause.
What would she do if an entire platoon of soldiers showed up in camo and asked to be seated?
