Bill has a right to his opinions alright. But I find the messages on his front sign exceptionally hostile and ugly. It's one thing to state your opinion, it's another thing to demonize whole groups of people. He slams minorities, women, immigrants, labor unions, Democrats among others. And given that he sells weapons, there is a disturbing, unstated threat of violence in the rage he displays towards those he disagrees with. His sign is a disgrace to the town and gun owners alike: he puts the ""nut"" in ""gun-nut."" In my mind, there is a big difference between free speech and hate speech. Americans fought and died for one not the other. I'm a life long hunter, but will take my business elsewhere!
Pros: He's closed at night.
Cons: Doesn't know difference between free speech and hate speech
