Legally she's on shaky ground, as that's definitely discrimination. Morally it's wrong, but I'm afraid her description as the owner of a shooting range has set off some of my own prejudices and biases, as I automatically picture her as ignorant, uneducated and right-wing. (Which isn't a good thing on my part. She may just be frightened, which is why she's incoherent.)
I think the terrorists are winning right now--the fear they monger, their seemingly random choice of targets and violence, even their latest methods (beheadings! Somehow that seems even worse than shooting!) have caused us to react in fear and allow our gov't to erode our rights even worse than immediately post 9/11.
If their violence causes us to give up all the freedoms they oppose then the victory is theirs.
