COSTELLO And good morning ░░░░░░░░ m Carol Costello Thank ░░░░░░░░ so much for joining ░░░░░░░░ In response to last ░░░░░░░░ s shooting massacre in ░░░░░░░░ Tennessee where four Marines ░░░░░░░░ a sailor were killed ░░░░░░░░ Florida gun store owner ░░░░░░░░ his business a Muslim ░░░░░░░░ zone He made the ░░░░░░░░ on YouTube clip starts ░░░░░░░░ Now I have a ░░░░░░░░ and legal responsibility to ░░░░░░░░ the safety of all ░░░░░░░░ in my community and ░░░░░░░░ effective immediately I am ░░░░░░░░ Florida Gun Supply as ░░░░░░░░ Muslim free zone I ░░░░░░░░ not arm and train ░░░░░░░░ who wish to do ░░░░░░░░ to my fellow patriots ░░░░░░░░ ends COSTELLO Andrew Hallinan ░░░░░░░░ owner of that Florida ░░░░░░░░ Supply store joins me ░░░░░░░░ Good morning HALLINAN Good ░░░░░░░░ Thanks for having me ░░░░░░░░ Thanks for being here ░░░░░░░░ you re standing in ░░░░░░░░ of a Confederate flag ░░░░░░░░ re banning Muslims who ░░░░░░░░ the Koran from your ░░░░░░░░ You want to be ░░░░░░░░ Why HALLINAN You know ░░░░░░░░ goal of the video ░░░░░░░░ to offend it was ░░░░░░░░ offend as many people ░░░░░░░░ I could quite honestly ░░░░░░░░ we could start a ░░░░░░░░ about the political correctness ░░░░░░░░ has become overly extreme ░░░░░░░░ in the United States ░░░░░░░░ causing loss of life ░░░░░░░░ we could prevent if ░░░░░░░░ called you know if ░░░░░░░░ looked at Islam for ░░░░░░░░ it is COSTELLO OK ░░░░░░░░ I m all for ░░░░░░░░ conversation right but you ░░░░░░░░ going one step farther ░░░░░░░░ re banning Muslims who ░░░░░░░░ the Koran from your ░░░░░░░░ How do you determine ░░░░░░░░ Muslim who follows the ░░░░░░░░ HALLINAN You know it ░░░░░░░░ a pretty unenforceable action ░░░░░░░░ I mean I can ░░░░░░░░ by law ask each ░░░░░░░░ every person that comes ░░░░░░░░ my doors what their ░░░░░░░░ background is but the ░░░░░░░░ expressly gives me the ░░░░░░░░ and the authority to ░░░░░░░░ service to anybody that ░░░░░░░░ feel is a threat ░░░░░░░░ any reason And it ░░░░░░░░ on a weekly basis ░░░░░░░░ we have people come ░░░░░░░░ the gun shop that ░░░░░░░░ pass their background check ░░░░░░░░ seem you know but ░░░░░░░░ seem a little off ░░░░░░░░ we make the determination ░░░░░░░░ a case by case ░░░░░░░░ whether or not we ░░░░░░░░ going to arm and ░░░░░░░░ these people because the ░░░░░░░░ things we want to ░░░░░░░░ is have more loss ░░░░░░░░ life you know for ░░░░░░░░ sort of tragic event ░░░░░░░░ But mostly if their ░░░░░░░░ name sounds a certain ░░░░░░░░ to you that would ░░░░░░░░ them HALLINAN Well no ░░░░░░░░ mean you know you ░░░░░░░░ have the first name ░░░░░░░░ Abdul you know and ░░░░░░░░ re not going to ░░░░░░░░ you but it will ░░░░░░░░ done on a case ░░░░░░░░ case basis The broader ░░░░░░░░ here is that we ░░░░░░░░ to bring light to ░░░░░░░░ s tenets as a ░░░░░░░░ We do believe that ░░░░░░░░ is evil at its ░░░░░░░░ and that the Koran ░░░░░░░░ built to establish a ░░░░░░░░ world order a caliphate ░░░░░░░░ superior COSTELLO Well HALLINAN ░░░░░░░░ ahead COSTELLO I m ░░░░░░░░ saying that you know ░░░░░░░░ by the way you ░░░░░░░░ basing on who comes ░░░░░░░░ your store and is ░░░░░░░░ service seems off to ░░░░░░░░ because for example Elton ░░░░░░░░ is the name of ░░░░░░░░ of the gunmen who ░░░░░░░░ fire this summer at ░░░░░░░░ Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest ░░░░░░░░ Garland Texas I will ░░░░░░░░ go down some other ░░░░░░░░ for you of people ░░░░░░░░ have been arrested for ░░░░░░░░ terrorism Alexander Ciccolo David ░░░░░░░░ Nicholas Ravinsky Elton Simpson ░░░░░░░░ I mentioned Hassan Edmunds ░░░░░░░░ Pew Christopher Cornell HALLINAN ░░░░░░░░ I mean Islamic extremism ░░░░░░░░ in all shapes and ░░░░░░░░ And we re not ░░░░░░░░ to be able to ░░░░░░░░ recognize it right off ░░░░░░░░ bat But if people ░░░░░░░░ seeming unnecessarily COSTELLO But ░░░░░░░░ t that ineffective I ░░░░░░░░ it s a very ░░░░░░░░ t that ineffective what ░░░░░░░░ re doing It s ░░░░░░░░ going to help anything ░░░░░░░░ s just going to ░░░░░░░░ things don t you ░░░░░░░░ HALLINAN Going back to ░░░░░░░░ point of the video ░░░░░░░░ it is to get ░░░░░░░░ conversation started about Islam ░░░░░░░░ that the core tenets ░░░░░░░░ to establish a one ░░░░░░░░ order and do so ░░░░░░░░ violent acts And that ░░░░░░░░ why we re seeing ░░░░░░░░ unrest in the Middle ░░░░░░░░ That s why we ░░░░░░░░ seeing these jihadist terror ░░░░░░░░ in the United States ░░░░░░░░ because their ultimate goal ░░░░░░░░ to establish one world ░░░░░░░░ that is superior to ░░░░░░░░ other religion and that ░░░░░░░░ the only religion that ░░░░░░░░ that COSTELLO What about ░░░░░░░░ killers like Dylann Roof ░░░░░░░░ was a white supremacist ░░░░░░░░ Absolutely I won t ░░░░░░░░ and train anybody from ░░░░░░░░ KKK COSTELLO OK you ░░░░░░░░ ban them too A ░░░░░░░░ who wrapped himself in ░░░░░░░░ Confederate flag HALLINAN If ░░░░░░░░ have reason to believe ░░░░░░░░ the person is not ░░░░░░░░ these firearms or getting ░░░░░░░░ trainings to do good ░░░░░░░░ the community or to ░░░░░░░░ their homes and families ░░░░░░░░ evil people then I ░░░░░░░░ not going to sell ░░░░░░░░ firearms whether that be ░░░░░░░░ from the KKK or ░░░░░░░░ from you know a ░░░░░░░░ supremacy movement or anything ░░░░░░░░ that But we don ░░░░░░░░ necessarily have to have ░░░░░░░░ sign out that says ░░░░░░░░ KKK right COSTELLO So ░░░░░░░░ a white supremacist is ░░░░░░░░ Christian and follows the ░░░░░░░░ is that the same ░░░░░░░░ a Muslim who follows ░░░░░░░░ Koran Are they both ░░░░░░░░ same in your book ░░░░░░░░ they re intent on ░░░░░░░░ mass murder HALLINAN Yes ░░░░░░░░ my goal is to ░░░░░░░░ guns away from anybody ░░░░░░░░ is going to use ░░░░░░░░ for any sort of ░░░░░░░░ actions and I do ░░░░░░░░ that Islam at its ░░░░░░░░ is violent I am ░░░░░░░░ saying in any way ░░░░░░░░ or form that every ░░░░░░░░ is violent at all ░░░░░░░░ evil at all The ░░░░░░░░ that the vast majority ░░░░░░░░ Muslims are peace loving ░░░░░░░░ know normal everyday Americans ░░░░░░░░ people that are not ░░░░░░░░ to seek the jihad ░░░░░░░░ But you do realize ░░░░░░░░ the number of gun ░░░░░░░░ in this country there ░░░░░░░░ many many killers and ░░░░░░░░ way outnumber Muslim Americans ░░░░░░░░ kill way 190 000 ░░░░░░░░ 2000 There were 37 ░░░░░░░░ Americans who specifically targeted ░░░░░░░░ because of their political ░░░░░░░░ religious beliefs HALLINAN You ░░░░░░░░ studies show time and ░░░░░░░░ again that the more ░░░░░░░░ firearms and the more ░░░░░░░░ people per population the ░░░░░░░░ rate always goes down ░░░░░░░░ percent of the time ░░░░░░░░ s never been proven ░░░░░░░░ The perfect example was ░░░░░░░░ The day after they ░░░░░░░░ concealed carry finally in ░░░░░░░░ they had the lowest ░░░░░░░░ rate in the history ░░░░░░░░ Chicago And that s ░░░░░░░░ really wonderful testament to ░░░░░░░░ firearms being a deterrent ░░░░░░░░ violent crime And my ░░░░░░░░ is to COSTELLO It ░░░░░░░░ t because they were ░░░░░░░░ guns to Muslims who ░░░░░░░░ the Koran HALLINAN So ░░░░░░░░ m not denying guns ░░░░░░░░ Muslims who read the ░░░░░░░░ I am denying guns ░░░░░░░░ Muslims who believe the ░░░░░░░░ exactly the way it ░░░░░░░░ written and wish to ░░░░░░░░ a caliphate a one ░░░░░░░░ order and kill unbelievers ░░░░░░░░ not believing And that ░░░░░░░░ my goal COSTELLO All ░░░░░░░░ I ll leave it ░░░░░░░░ Andrew Hallinan thank you ░░░░░░░░ much for being with ░░░░░░░░ HALLINAN Thank you COSTELLO ░░░░░░░░ it.”
