Video shows gun store owner ordering customer to leave store over Black Lives Matter Face Mask
Arkansas gun store owner kicked two customers out of his tore over one of them wearing Black Lives Matter mask. The owner compared the mask to Nazi imagery according to Daily Dot. A Instagram video shared by @davenewworld_ shows the incident between the owner of 76 Arms & Ammunition and a Black man. The almost four-and-a-half-minute video, recorded on March 1, starts with a conversation between the shop owner and the customer. The person filming the interaction, who appears to be the Black man’s partner was wearing a BLM mask. The gun store owner was in the middle of explaining the meaning of the Nazi symbol as the video saying “the Nazi symbol, in India, is a good luck symbol.”
He argues that the Black Lives Matter symbol is one of hate and violence. “You’re telling me that equality is the same as fascism?” the person filming the interaction asks.
The store owner ignores this comment and digs his heels in, noting that he would also remove a customer sporting a swastika. “You’re not understanding what I’m saying,” he tells the Black man. “Black Lives Matter, the organization, is a fascist, Marxist organization. You need to change your symbolism and create another group.”
The person recording the video responded saying, “We need to say something other than Black Lives Matter because that offends you,” the gun store owner loses his patience and tells her to leave.
The man tries to explain that they are promoting the concept of Black Lives Matter more than promoting the actual organization. However, the gun store owner refuses to continue the discussion and walks away. The Black man and the person recording walk out the door.
Viewers expressed their frustration with the gun store owner’s argument, with many calling it a ploy to cover his “secret” racism. Others urged the duo to take their business elsewhere.
“Fuck that guy who cares what he thinks?? You’re expending a lot of energy here, go spend your money else where!!” one commenter wrote.
