Ok... Im going out on a limb here and going to say, you people are seriously overreacting. Its a private class, the guy has the right to teach who ever he wishes, for whatever reasons he chooses.
So please lets stop with the intolerance speech because Im seeing a hell of a lot more judgemental intolerance here than what he has presented. Intolerance of a point of view you choose not to accept is still intolerance.
No.
If I see one person beating another person on the street with a stick for absolutely no rational reason, it is not intolerant of me to take away that person's stick.
If I witness a person browbeating a group of people with hateful and illogical words, it is not intolerant of me to call out that person's ignorance.
You're right, it isn't wrong for you to call him out.
However, most of the posts in here are
Only in Texas, what a shitty place full of bigots
or
Only in America where this goes on
90% of the posters here are doing the exact same thing as what the original guy did, grouping a whole bunch of people together in a negative way. In the Gun Instructors case it's grouping Obama-voters and Muslims. Here on the Escapist it's grouping all Americans (specifically Texans) and all Conservatives as backwater morons.
Everyone seems to be forgetting the fact that about 95% of the time, the media never reports the Good Stuff. Who reads this Headline?
Gun Instructor in Texas offers course to all people, regardless of any petty bullshit. Nobody reads that because that's boring, but I would say that's what's going on in virtually every Gun Range in the County.
But with this controversial news, it get's more page hits, more people commenting, more site exposure, which all adds to one thing...more money. Saying
is a huge overreaction to something that is going to be a non-issue in a week. And most of the posters here are acting as bigoted as this guy, only with anonymity
