Are the food and service any good at the Backstreets Pub and Deli in Clemson, South Carolina? I don’t know. But I do know this: The bar’s owner has big brass ones and no qualms about tussling with Second Amendment nuts.

Before this morning, Backstreets had three Yelp reviews that averaged three out of five stars. Today, it got nearly 300 reviews from pro-gun nuts who either ventured cross-country to try the wings in Clemson, vomited, found the place unsafe and were driven to comment on Yelp for the very first time… or simply made some shit up to justify driving the joint’s rating down to one star.

“Sorry, but I’m not sorry,” the presumed owner posted today. “If you feel the need to bring a gun into a college bar you are a douche bag. And if you’re drinking than you are violating the law.” He later added that he himself is a gun owner fed up with “irrational…gun nuts” and said the sign was temporary—well, “temporally”:
