Oregon gun shop REFUSES to sell firearm to Antifa-affiliated man
"He didn't feel good about it because he didn't support Antifa, and I explained to him it's more like a movement," said Mark Iannicelli, a self-identified member of Antifa.
Mark Iannicelli, a self-proclaimed member of Antifa, which is a far-left extremist group with ties to terrorism, alleges that Florence Gun Shop refused to service him a background check which is required to complete the sale of a firearm.
Iannicelli, who had already purchased the firearm from an online shop in Colorado, claims that Florence Gun Shop denied the background check after he had provided them with a business card that included several links to self-defense websites, including one operated by Portland's Rose City Antifa, according to KEZI 9.
"It's because I had given him this business card, and he said he didn't feel good about it because he didn't support Antifa, and I explained to him it's more like a movement," Iannicelli told the outlet. "You know I have never actually gone up there and marched with Antifa, but he was adamant he wasn't going to sell me the firearm."
