Heh.
As Twitchy reported, Backstreets Pub & Grill, a Clemson, S.C., bar, posted a sneering sign slamming gun owners and doubled down on its Facebook page.
Dear US Gun Owners, @BackstreetsPub in Clemson, SC you just called you douchebags. pic.twitter.com/CcEyVC5QIc

A backlash swiftly erupted.
@thedcosta77 @BackstreetsPub interesting business model. you have better results needlessly insulting potential customers? Seems odd.

@BackstreetsPub you are an embarrassment to Clemson University. Way to make national news… the wrong way.
— Matthew Williams (@mbw86) March 18, 2014
Bingo.
@BackstreetsPub I would not think that you would be in business for another quarter after your idiotic sign posting on your wall.

Speaking of signs, Second Amendment supporters have a few ideas. How about these signs, Backstreets?

Well, consumers do have a choice. Why frequent an establishment that treats you with disdain before you even step through the door? Clearly, your business is not wanted.
Looks like I’m adding @BackstreetsPub to places I won’t go when I get back to #Clemson next week. Bunch of hippies. pic.twitter.com/Laavpq0761

As for Backstreets, it has yet to respond to the backlash on its Twitter feed. It did, however, respond to praise.
