Florida Gun Supply has to be one of the coolest gun shops out there. The owner, Andy Hallinan, tirelessly sticks to his principles, even in the face of adversity.
Back in July, he made a gutsy move and declared his business a “Muslim Free Zone.”
“Now, I have a moral and legal responsibility to ensure the safety of all patriots in my community,” Hallinan said. “And so effective immediately I’m declaring Florida Gun Supply a Muslim-free zone. I will not arm and train those who wish to do harm to my fellow patriots.”
CAIR immediately freaked out and asked the DOJ to investigate. They were sure he was violating the civil rights of Muslims. Oh, and they also sued him.
The American Freedom Law Center took up Hallinan’s case, and to CAIR’s dismay, they scored a major victory. On Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Beth Bloom said Hallinan was acting within his First Amendment rights, so CAIR can suck it. (OK, I added that last part in there.)
“The general desire of [CAIR] in this case to have Muslims able to access [Florida Gun Supply’s] shooting range someday in the future is insufficient . . . There are simply no facts grounding the assertion that [CAIR] and/or one of its constituents will be harmed—[CAIR] has failed to allege when and in what manner the alleged injuries are going to occur,” the court ruled.
So CAIR sucks. That’s basically what they’re saying, right?
“As our motion and now the court’s ruling make clear, CAIR’s lawsuit was patently frivolous if not outright dangerous. No firearms dealer or gun range owner for that matter should be required to sell weapons to or train anyone that the dealer or owner has reason to believe is a terrorist threat. We all have a civic responsibility to prevent the next terrorist attack. CAIR’s lawsuit was an effort to prevent business owners from doing so,” AFLC Co-Founder and Senior Counsel Robert Muise said in the statement.
“This dismissal was yet another AFLC victory against CAIR and its jihadi lawfare against patriotic Americans across the country,” AFLC Co-Founder and Senior Counsel David Yerushalmi said. “This victory follows on the heels of a recent victory against CAIR in a Michigan federal court where CAIR’s subpoenas were quashed and CAIR’s nefarious client sanctioned for abusive practices. CAIR was born from a jihadi terrorist conspiracy, and it has done little to distance itself from those bona fides. CAIR is on notice: if you attempt to use the courts to conduct your civilizational jihad, AFLC will be there to defend law-abiding, patriotic Americans and our nation’s national security. We will match and defeat your civilization jihad with our constitutional lawfare in every courtroom across the nation.”
Any day that CAIR loses is a good day in my book. Hey, celebrate by purchasing your favorite patriot Florida Gun Supply’s JFM15 (Jihadi Fighting Machine). It’s truly a beautiful piece of machinery.
