Why should the citizenry respect the cops, when they show utter contempt for the law? None of them willingly or unwillingly abide by section 1983 of the Federal Code.
Also, forcing them to leave their guns* “outside”, which in this case would be in the car wouldn’t just mean some criminal could break into the car and steal their weaponry?
I'm sure what the shop owner wants it to mean is that they go eat their donuts elsewhere. Safety of their firearms is the responsibility of the cops, not the bakery owner in any case.
“Many members of our community have been impacted by gun violence, whether that be experience on the streets of San Francisco, having come from war or occupation, or having increased fears due to a growing climate of political extremism,” the bakery continued. “All too often, Black and brown people, and poor people are the victims of this violence. At Reem’s, we aim to provide a space where people can eat delicious Arab food and work together to strengthen our community, without fear of violence or harassment.”
They don’t want their customers to have to worry about guns. Their policy makes perfect sense to me.
Makes total sense, this policy will prevent criminals from bring firearms into the bakery too. They'll see the sign and find somewhere else to rob at gunpoint
Man, it must be so awful to be so terrified of everything that you think the entire world is a constant threat you have to be armed and guarded against.
Also, forcing them to leave their guns* "outside", which in this case would be in the car, wouldn't just mean some criminal could break into the car and steal their weaponry?
They carry more weapons than the ones on their person anyway. If their vehicle isn't secure enough for their sidearm while they are on break then they aren't secure enough for the rest of their arsenal.
