Gun store runs ad saying it won’t sell to Muslims, Clinton supporters

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 he’s 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.

“She’s clearly stated that she doesn’t 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 people’s right to keep an bear arms, and will not abolish the Second Amendment.

When the long haired comes in wearing granny glasses, sandals and wearing a "give peace a chance" button...he won't sell to that guy.

5. I suppose that's one way of reducing the public's access to guns.

Those who petition for punitive fees and taxes on guns and ammunition really have no cause to complain.

are just advertisements to them. How many liberals would buy guns from this jackass after this declaration? Likely none. How many knuckledraggers? Boatloads!

I think not.

All Americans who pass the background checks have a right to purchase a firearm...I repeat ALL AMERICANS.

It might be interesting to see the look on the guy's face if you showed up at his shop with a new $6000 rifle-scope system in a hard case along with the receipt, and told him "yeah, I thought you might want to see the new gun I just got. I would have bought it from you if you weren't such an insufferable prick."
