No adopting pets if you a gun owner! Pet shop bans gun supporters.

Hmmm, my guess is that this wouldn't stand up in court since guns are a protected right. But if I was a pet owner in that city I'd just never shop at that store.

A California pet shop is facing backlash for banning gun rights advocates from adopting abandoned animals from their store.​

​

Shelter Hope Pet Shop describes itself as "a fun, friendly place where visitors and volunteers can meet and interact with animals needing adoption." (Shelter Hope Pet Shop via Facebook)​

"We do not support those who believe that the 2nd amendment gives them the right to buy assault weapons," Shelter Hope Pet Shop stated on their website. "If your beliefs are not in line with ours, we will not adopt a pet to you."​

​

According to their Facebook page, Shelter Hope Pet Shop in Thousand Oaks, Calif. provides "a fun, friendly place where visitors and volunteers can meet and interact" with abandoned animals. Applicants must be at least 25 and able to drive, in addition to being pro-gun control.​

Business owner Kim Sill credits her strong position on gun control to the tragic death of her sister Michelle, who was shot by her husband.

Maybe she should not allow Husbands to adopt her pups since a husband is the one who shot her sister.
I empathize when anyone who has lost a loved one like that but her stance will only hurt her business and will not prevent any further gun violence. Duh.
