Texas gun shop sign takes aim at Obama voters

[IMG][/IMG]

A memorable message on a sign might be a great way to bring potential customers into a storefront, and for one Texas gun store owner that means making a political statement.

“I like my guns like Obama likes his voters: Undocumented,” the sign outside the Tactical Firearms store in Katy, TX., read.

The sign has drawn attention in the local community, inspiring local reports as members of the community weigh in.

The Tactical Firearms owner Jeremy Alcede shared the sign proudly on his Facebook page, linking to a number of stories in the conservative blogosphere touting its virality. While many of the commenters who took to the gun store’s page voiced support for the message, a handful accused the message of having racist undertones.

4. It is obvious one doesn't have to be smart or sensible to own guns or sell them.

Does the store owner think all of the undocumented immigrants came after Obama was elected? Well, wrong, George W lined them being here.

Knew of was by an older white couple who voted for RMoney in Nevada when they still lived in California. I think they used a relative's address in Nevada. Quite simply, they cheated.

the only illegal guns are those with their serial number obliterated. The rest of the time it's the owners who are illegal, as in owning or possessing a firearm when they are not legally able to do so.
