This gun-store in America is using an incredibly tasteless discount code today

Pathetic

Simply despicable.

Florida Gun Supply have devised a controversial and condemnable way to get themselves some publicity this September 11.

On the anniversary of the greatest tragedy on American soil since Pearl Harbour, the Floridian arms dealership put out this tweet advising customers to buy their guns cheaper by using the discount code “muslim.”

While it is pure ignorance to draw a connection between Islamic extremism and the hundreds of millions of peaceful Muslims at large, it could be further argued that selling guns using such a tactic is incitement to violence against Muslims.

One tweeter reminded the unapologetic gun shop of that fact with this eye-opening graphic.

Until America gets its gun laws together, all we can do is hope that nobody is harmed as a result of this ignorance.
