Controversial ‘Muslim-Free Gun Range’ Owner Is Running For Governor Of Arkansas

This is suuuurely going to turn into a huge controversy for the Dems…

Jan Morgan, who has previously gotten tongues wagging for declaring her gun range a “Muslim-free zone” intends to run for Governor of Arkansas.

If she gets very much attention, I have no doubt that Democrats will pump money and time in to this race like they did the Roy Moore/Doug Jones Alabama race. If anything, this may get MORE attention, as virtue-signaling about Muslims is a Dem top priority.

I really don’t think she’s expected to get very far though. So for now the libs will just cluck around about how Islamophobic this gun-toting harridan is. She’s everything they HAAAATE.

According to this:

A gun range owner who in 2014 banned Muslims from her business as a matter of ‘public safety’ has announced that she now intends to stand for governor in the US state of Arkansas.

Republican Jan Morgan officially announced her candidacy at a New Year’s Eve event in her hometown of Hope Springs, Arkansas. She will be challenging incumbent Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson in May.

Ms Morgan, who has served as national spokesperson for Citizens for Trump, created a storm in 2014 when she claimed Islam was ‘not a religion’ and should not be afforded protections under the US Constitution.

Islam is a hateful ideology… but I don’t know that her argument will hold up in court.

She agains drew publicity two years ago when she turned away a Hindu father and son from her gun range.

The men, of Indian descent, said they had arrived hoping to shoot but were immediately asked where they were from and told it was a Muslim-free range.

Ms Morgan has claimed that business is booming since her Muslim ban and that threats of a lawsuit by federal civil rights enforcers have failed to materialise.

In a bizarre blog post two years ago, she asked why she should ‘rent or sell a gun and hand ammunition to someone who aligns himself with a religion that commands him to kill me?’

NOTE: The ‘bizarre’ assessment is Daily Mail’s, not my own. I have not personally read the blog post.

The shooting range owner said she made the decision after two customers she deemed suspicious visited. She said their furtive behavior and cellphone ringtones of ‘Allahu Akhbar’ prompted her to revise her range’s policies.

‘We are dealing in lethal firearms,’ Morgan she told FoxNews.com at the time. ‘I’m not going to let a Nazi shoot in here, or a Ku Klux Klan member in here, either.’

‘I understand that not all Muslims are terrorists,” she said at the time.

‘I also believe there are as many Muslims who do not know what is in their Koran as there are Christians who do not know what is in their Bible.

‘Since I have no way of discerning which Muslims will or will not kill in the name of their religion and the commands in their Koran, I choose to err on the side of caution for the safety of my patrons.’

So…I totally see what she’s saying. But again, I don’t think her argument would stand up legally. Whether that’s right or wrong is not for me to decide. It’s in violation of the Civil Rights Act, because like it or not, Islam is widely considered a religion.

So, she’s challenging the current Governor of Arkansas… but she’s not really expected to get anywhere.

Comentators say that although Ms Morgan has already created a campaign website and has started to solicit campaign contributions for her 2018 push, she is not expected to unseat Mr Hutchinson who she has has consistently described as ‘RINO’ – ‘Republican in name only’ – on her Facebook page.

She has accused Mr Hutchinson of ‘campaigning like a conservative Republican but governing like a liberal Democrat’.

In addition she has alleged that that the sitting governor of not sufficiently conservative on gun rights and not sufficiently combative when it comes to challenging sharia law.

We’ll see what happens next
