'Racist' gun range billboards in South Jersey should come down, activists say. The range's owner disagrees. Updated: NOVEMBER 14, 2017 — 4:24 PM EST Take a knee zoomed Camera icon MONEKE RAGSDALE'S TWITTER The South Jersey Shooting Club’s sign along Route 73 in Voorhees. by Michael Boren, Staff Writer @borenmc | mboren@phillynews.com A gun range in Camden County is resisting calls to take down two billboards that activists say aggravate racial tensions and mock NFL players who take a knee during the national anthem. “It has absolutely nothing to do with race,” said Wesley Aducat, owner of the South Jersey Shooting Club in Winslow Township, which put up one of the billboards several weeks ago near Route 73 in Voorhees Township. The second appears on a digital sign near Routes 73 and 130 in Pennsauken. “It’s just support for our veterans.” The signs say: “The only time we take a knee…” and show the silhouette of a person shooting a rifle, with the website of the club at the bottom. Aducat said he supports the right to protest but doesn’t agree with kneeling during the anthem, particularly since many of the club’s members are veterans. He said he has no plans to remove the billboards. That has upset the NAACP’s Camden County East chapter. It says the signs twist the message of kneeling, which is meant to bring attention to systemic racism and police brutality against people of color.

For your viewing pleasure...  The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC The Dhimocrats love America like ticks love a hound. | |||

Glorious SPAM! |
Why do people respond seriously to an obviously ignorant question? Start playing the lefts game. "That billboard is racist!" "No, YOU are racist for saying that! I feel scared for my life now!". Show the world how absolutely absurd these pople are. | |||

I thought the proponents of “taking a knee” in protest were all about free speech and the first amendment? Calgary Shooting Centre | |||

What, you think that works in both directions? Nope. Some people think that free speech is only for them, not for people with a different viewpoint. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

Yeah, for the libtards, Free Speech only applies when they agree with what is being said/expressed. Anything that they find 'offensive' or that they don't agree with is 'hate speech' or 'racist.' Idiots. Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

But...the shooter on the billboard is black!  I think the NAACP is being short-sighted here. (OTOH, why shouldn't they go for a perfect record?) How much more mileage and publicity would they reap by publicly commending the SJSC for advocating armed resistance to authority? Their us-vs-them mentality blinds them to any viewpoints other than a knee-jerk reaction. | |||

Just another example from the SJW left as to why the word "racist" no longer has any meaning whatsoever. What a bunch of tards.....  "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

I think you both are giving these nitwit players far more credit for having enough brain function to actually know what they're kneeling for. These people border on utterly illiterate and I don't think they have any unified message or reasoning on this at all. They're just mindlessly following someone else's lead because... As to the subject of the op, this complaint is beyond stupid and outs these morons for the race baiting filth they are. I used to think they should simply be ignored. Now I think they should be aggressively and viciously attacked when they start this BS. The message that should reign should be, no more of this crap will be tolerated. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns. And several dogs, because a man with a cat is a woman. Kurt Schlichter | |||

And yet they're all for flag burning, tearing down historical statues, pulling down a ~50 year old cross memorializing American Patriots and allowing male sexual perverts in girls bathrooms (and the list goes on).

You're right....and since everything is racist, nothing is. -------- After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. | |||

I think it is telling that the NAACP is still the "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People"! The rest of us are castigated if we use that description for them. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

They didn't answer the phone when I called the other day so I sent them a supportive email. Getting shot is no achievement. Hitting your enemy is. NRA Endowment Member . NRA instructor | |||
