    This man has no criminal background and is refused service. Now compare this to the gun shops who sold Texas church shooter Devin Kelley a stockpile of assault rifles and ammo after a lifetime of violence.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/928389160494276609 …

        We’ve known, at least since the #MilfordAct, that the #NRA has NO problem limiting access to guns…for Black people. Redlining is still alive

        I am an honorably discharged vet barred from buying a gun because I have a legal scrip for medical marijuana but people who are on oxy or fentanyl are not. This is ridiculous.

        You do realize he's PURCHASED guns from this same store before AND has a gun on layaway at said store. I'd wait for the police. Pull out my receipt and tell them I want my money back from my layaway. Let's see what he'd do.

        I can't remember the last time a mass shooting happened in the US and the terrorist was African American. Many pale guys with small penises.

        It's always been there. There's just more access to information about those that commit hateful acts, now that we have the internet, and the Twit-In-Chief has made more of those who already harbored hate feel more at ease expressing or acting on it.

        The entire conversation/encounter is not shown, so it’s hard to truly believe what was really said by both parties. I wouldn’t be surprised if the guy who’s filming is telling the truth, but the video does not show what he claims happened.

        He also didn't walk into the store where he's previously purchased guns and expect to be denied that's why the video picks up later
