Cope Reynolds, owner of the Southwest Shooting Authority in Pinetop, Arizona posted his new store policy in his local newspaper as an advertisement. He also posted a sign on his front door. What is the new policy of SSA? According to the sign, if you voted for Barack Obama your business is not welcome at Southwest Shooting Authority. You have proven you are not responsible enough to own a firearm. The Southwest Shooting Authority is a family-owned, family-run business. The store was opened in 2004.
Im a small business owner, he said. If you are dumb enough to vote for Obama again after four years of this I dont think you are responsible enough to own a firearm. I dont care who it makes mad. While Reynolds said that most of his customers did not support Barack Obama, it was a way for him to make a statement and he is concerned about how Obamas policies will impact small businesses. He posted a letter on the Ammoland website which read:
To Whom it May Concern: I thought you all might be interested in this. We will try to demonstrate once again that the bottom line for our business is principle, not money. Yes, it has been damaging at times but our values are intact. Effective immediately, if you voted for Obama, your money is no good here. You have proven beyond a doubt that you are not responsible enough to own a firearm. We have just put a sign up on the front door to save you the trouble of walking all the way in here
. I took this ad out in our local paper. It will come out in the White Mountain Independent tomorrow, 9 November Sincerely, Cope Reynolds
