voted for Obama? no guns for you

As pointed out, there's no earthly way for them to enforce that. More importantly, why would I give a shit and give these mouth-breathers my money when there are tons of other businesses all over the place.

If I had, say, voted for Obama.

[Aubergine~!]

If any of those states do secede you should replace them by annexing new Zealand.

They're very polite and accommodating so they'd just accept it.

That's actually not a bad idea.

Dump one of the dumber states, annex Puerto Rico, and boom, no worries about changing the number of stars on the flag. I like it.

Voted for Obama? You're not responsible enough to own a gun. You're off your meds, threatened the president on Facebook, and are pissed off at your coworkers? None of my business, here's an UZI

Really? Really? Okay, some other gun shop owner should put up his own signs trying to get the business this turd refuses.

That is the best reply possible to this guy.

Is this kind of discrimination even legal?

Yes. "Obama voter" is not a protected class.

[Nick Soapdish]

Yeah, this already came up when a doctor posted a similar sign on his business. This guy was probably making the (mistaken) assumption that Obama voters wouldn't buy guns anyway so it'd be an easy way to drum up business from his "real" customers. And there are undoubtably more gun owners among Romney voters, but I don't know how many of them are that political about it.

"If you voted for the guy who signed the assault weapons ban when he was governor, come right on on. If you voted for the guy who hasn't said jack shit about restricting gun rights since he took office, fuck off."

What an idiot.

"We reserve the right to refuse service to any person for any reason."
AKA, the "Let the racist fucks go bankrupt" Clause.

My question is how do they know you've voted for Obama?

Short answer - they don't.

Obviously, this is nothing more than a political statement. Of course, it would be impossible to enforce. If they don't say anything, we'll never know. They could purchase whatever they wanted, and they would probably get a big kick out of thinking that they are rubbing it in our face as they walk out the door. Some folks are easily amused that way.

However, if they own up to it, we will not serve them. This goes way beyond gun control, which many think is why we did this. I should have as much right to post a sign on my door as those that post "No Guns" on their doors.

Perfectly legal, why would it not be?

Chris Christie continues his tour ...and on SNL. Where he knocked himself over his temper. He also did a line from a Bruce Springsteen song and said its from a real Poet.

"Is that from Springsteen ?" - Myers.

"Yes Seth it was..." - Christie.

"I wouldn't call him a poet exactly." - Myers

"Your right Seth...more like a Saint." - Christie .
