Florida Man Declares His Gun Shop ‘Muslim-Free Zone,’ Battles CNN Host

[Styx]

Step one: Be a Florida man. Step two: Make an online video with yourself posing in front of a Confederate battle flag. Step three: Declare your gun store a “Muslim-free zone” because you’re a “true patriot.” Step four: Get on CNN.
That’s the route taken by Andrew Hallinan, who declared his Florida Gun Supply shop a “Muslim-free zone” after a Kuwait-born gunman killed four Marines and a sailor in Chattanoooga, Tenn., last week.

“I’m declaring Florida Gun Supply as a Muslim-free zone,” he said in a video posted to Facebook. “I will not arm and train those who wish to do harm to my fellow patriots.”

Oh, and look at that, he was on CNN this morning with Carol Costello, who confronted him for banning Muslims from his store.

Hallinan admitted he cannot realistically ask the religious background of every customer that comes through his store, but he does intend to use the power vested in him by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to weed out certain customers, because, as he told the host, “Islam is evil at its core.” He added: “The Koran is built to establish a one-world order, a caliphate.”

Asked whether he’d also ban white supremacists who pose in front of the Confederate flag — a la Charleston shooter Dylann Roof — Hallinan said his goal is to keep guns away from people who intend to do mass murder. “The vast majority of Muslims are peace-loving, normal, everyday Americans,” he said. However, he does seek to ban any Muslims who “read the Koran exactly as it was written.”

It is his democratic right.It is his shop,and he can allow/disallow anybody,just like we do at home

 

[PlanetWarrior]

NO ! it doesn't work that way !

 

[arbit]

Because banning a black from siting in front of a bus is NOT the same as selling a gun to a possible nut job. The former is racism, latter is possible good sense. Even your government is doing pretty much the same thing in uighur (I Support it). Better nip it in the bud.

So are you saying every Muslim with a gun goes about killing people?

How in the world is that not racism?

 

[Hyperion]

Because, what you might be doing back-home is called discrimination and it is wrong in wayyyyy-sooooo-many-ways!

It is his democratic right.It is his shop,and he can allow/disallow anybody,just like we do at home

If a person passes a background check you have to sell to them unless you want a lawsuit.

No Sir, I am saying its easier to offend a muslim with a gun and lets face it, violence has more sanction in islam than in most other religions.
In states a black was shot by a white cop, blacks didn't form cells and went on killing random white cops. They took out rallies, created a ruckus but there were no suicide attacks or hate crimes against white en masse as opposed to, say, Charlie Hebdo.

If a person passes a background check you have to sell to them unless you want a lawsuit.

Thats a legal issue of the land. Moreover i did not comment upon the legality of the matter but merely professed my understanding of his frustration/reasons that might have prompted him to take this step.

 

[Jungibaaz]

Of course, it is perfectly fine to serve a school shooter and any 'psychopath' that walks through the door.


...yeah, I went there...

 

[VCheng]

Hallinan admitted he cannot realistically ask the religious background of every customer that comes through his store,

See, even he knows the law, and its consequences if he violates it. This is just a ploy to gain popularity among his customers, that is all.

How many muslims committed hate crimes in the wake of the CHarlie Hebdo ruckus? Except those two madmen, who could have been anybody frankly...

And no, violence does not have more sanction in Islam...this proves you have no idea what you are talking about.

This is an example of racism, nothing else.
