quote:

A Spanish Fork gun shop is prominently displaying a target bearing a resemblance to both President Barack Obama and Osama Bin Laden, and the shop’s owner said he hopes the message attached to the target will resonate with those who see it.

The target bears a sign around its neck stating: “Obama Bin Laden. The biggest terrorist this country has ever seen.”


quote:

Patrick Meinhart, the owner of Quantum Guns, said he put the target up because he believes President Obama is bringing the country down. He said the president is limiting freedom of speech and eroding gun rights. He also said he thinks the president isn’t doing enough when it comes to problems posed by Islamic extremists and the spread of Ebola.

He said he and his family are supporters of the Constitution and wanted to make a statement.


quote:

Peter Corroon, Utah Democratic Party chairman, said he feels the display is disrespectful.

“That is not what this nation is, that’s not what we should be, and we really need to start thinking differently in this nation about our elected officials and the respect that we need to show them,” he said.

I was assuming there was a second obama target. If the one the OP posted is all there is then I don't understand the obama reference.

The shop owner seems to agree with you.

Probably why he did this:

Are we sure this isn't a typo?

I love how these are big stories now, yet this stuff was done just as much if not more with the last president.

That's not right.

And it's also a bad business decision.

Respect is earned and based on performance Barrack doesn't deserve any.

No laws against satire or political statements against government officials.

Obama hates America and is wilfully trying to destroy the country, imho, hence the effort to bring in millions upon millions of third world latinos into this country, hence the spending of 8 trillion into debt that has our country living in a perilous time, waiting for a calamity of epic proportions, that has to happen soon, our debt in unsustainable, and interest rates are being manipulated low, when this practice ends shortly you will see the spiraling debt that causes a worldwide collapse, then the USA's leadership will be kicked to the curb, the dollar abandoned and America will be in a chaotic situation, with the animosity the dems have built up between men and women and between all races who knows what will happen. You dummies just keep denying the facts that we are headed off the cliff.

I got gold and food suplies, you guys trust in the overvalued dollar all you want, but within 5 - 10 years it will plunge.

Sounds like something you once only heard in places like China and the U.S.S.R..
