Gun store runs ad saying it wont sell to Muslims, Clinton supporters
I dont feel safe arming them.
Paul Chandler, the owner of Altra Firearms in rural Jackson Center, Pennsylvania, says he turns customers away at his door who are Muslim or who are supporting Hillary Clinton for president.
The 54-year-old business owner posted a sign on the door of Altra Firearms conveying those rules, and hes currently running an ad in a local newspaper declaring: Please NO Muslims or Hillary Supporters We do not feel safe selling to terrorists!
Chandler told ThinkProgress that, as the owner of a store that brands itself as politically incorrect firearms, he is free to turn Democrats and Muslims away.
Shes clearly stated that she doesnt think Americans should have what she calls assault weapons or even guns themselves, he said about Clinton. The Democratic nominee has said she believes in peoples right to keep an bear arms, and will not abolish the Second Amendment.
Its incrementalism, he added. She will take one gun away and then shell take the next gun and the next gun until finally theres no guns. So if youre supporting her, Im not going to arm you.
The stance is nothing new Chandler said he has had a sign on his door telling supporters of President Obama to go to hell, and that he has never been comfortable selling firearms to Muslims.

A landscaper in our area kept large Obama-hating signs out in front of his business. In about three years he was out of business and gone.
GOOD. I hope he's destitute.

(11,605 posts)As a place of public accommodation I don't think they can refuse to serve customers based on religion.
It's probably legal not to sell to Hillary supporters, though, because political views are not a protected class generally. Some states have laws about employment discrimination based on politics but I don't know about public accommodations.

(3,784 posts)Hillary's comin' to round up all your guns in another couple of weeks anyway. Remember?
We Hillary supporters all know this, so why would we be out spending money on guns when we all know the Gubmint's gonna be sent house to house to confiscate them soon anyway?
