The Florida gun shop owner who publicly declared that his business was a "Muslim-free zone" is back in the news again – this time for selling targets featuring pictures of prominent Democrats' faces.

In the video, Hallinan says he had just gotten out of seven days of "Facebook jail," allegedly caused by Sanders supporters who were unhappy he'd covered up a car's "Bernie 2016" bumper stickers with a "Muslim Free Zone" sticker.
In a previous video introducing the targets, Hallinan said, "This is actually exercising our First Amendment right. We are allowed to have targets that look like a president or presidential campaigner as long as you don't have a credible threat on their life. So I'm in no way saying we should ever do harm to any presidential candidate."

The store responded in a Facebook post Tuesday.
"This art is not to incite violence – but rather to inspire ALL of America to gain a better understanding of how strong our 1st amendment rights are – even if they are unpopular," the post said.
