Guns Are Cheaper At This Tennessee Store If You’re a Christian

Christians who are looking a good deal on a gun need look no further than Frontier Firearms. The Kingston, Tennessee liberty-defending establishment began offering 5 percent discounts last week for anyone who says “I’m a Christian” before purchasing a new handgun.

The rebate was announced shortly after the tragic shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon earlier this month—where the shooter allegedly asked his victims if their were Christians before shooting them.
..
“If Christians are going to be targeted, we need to protect ourselves,” owner Brant Williams said when the discount began. He, and Frontier Firearms vice president Eric Parish, characterize the mass shooting as religiously motivated, citing reports that shooter Chris Harper Mercer asked students about their faith before killing them.
..
Parish alleges the sale, now extended until the end of the month (so hurry!), is no longer reserved for just Christians—or people who say they are Christians— but any and all people willing to declare a religion prior to buying a new weapon.
..
Despite Parish alleging that the store is welcoming any and all faiths, Frontier Firearms’ owner is promoting his own Christian Carry Pins which as the name suggests read: “I am Christian and I carry.” They are $5.00 each which is way less than the 5 percent customers would save on the new guns they buy. Semi-automatic pistols are available at Fronteir Firearms for as low as $408.

Most ammosexuals like him just make money off of garden variety paranoia. This one has just found an innovative way to make money from other people's misery. The reality that his customers won't call him out for his shitstainery just proves how pathetic the entire culture is.

Poor, persecuted Christians!

You hardly ever see churches any more in America, or hear religious music, since that Muslim Nazi Communist Atheist Incompetent All-Powerful Barack HUSSEIN Obama became president.
