good for them....

doesnt matter about their sexual preference everyone has the right to protect themselves

 

This.

 

Who would have imagined that guns could possibly bring the LGBT community and "bitter clingers" together.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

 

Good....I'm for anyone who chooses to not be a victim.
Years ago, living in Knoxville, I used to shoot with a couple of gay guys at one of the ranges on occasion.
They told me once that they were used to insults and judgemental people everywhere they went except for the range. They said they had never felt more accepted anywhere else outside of places that catered to their lifestyle.

 

I wonder what pelosi/boxer/moonbeam think of all this stuff. Didn't ca just pass a bunch of anti gun stuff the other day?

 

Keep in mind this is small change at the margin in the LGBT community, so it changes nothing in terms of big picture politics.

But a good sign nonetheless that some people are starting to question the notion that self-disarmament is their best option.

 

While I may not agree with their lifestyle, they are American's first and all Americans have a right and a duty to protect themselves and loved ones from harm. The more people that have them the more chance that someone could save a friend or family member of mine.

 

Thats good that some folks are now arming up. But if the clubs, government and some others say no to the right to bear arms here, there and /or everywhere, what good does it do?

 

A lot of the people who are now feeling vulnerable are the same people that have consistently hounded the CEO's and managements of companies to be posted. They will now find themselves working to educate these same people to scrape those stickers off the doors or spend their money somewhere else gun owners have been doing.

 

larger numbers saying I will not be a slave to anyone or any govt.politics looks at numbers govt looks at numbers and I like larger numbers of like minded to be standing with me

 

Guys... One of our own, a gun nut, has started an interactive map of people that are willing to train members of the LGBT community for free... The site has exploded with offers of help in the last week and I encourage everyone to check it out and offer help if you can!

Love the idea, but they should change the name to OperationFlamingSword.

 

Now there is something I won't object to about a homosexual, one that carries a firearm to protect themselves and those around them......and I guess the DOD feels the same way now.

 

Can someone let our President know the tide is changing and the LGBT has found out about the 2A right and plan to exercise it? Oh yeah.......he'll have to change his monologue again.............now people are acting to cling to guns, religion, and protecting the rights of LGBT citizens.

 

I think this news is....


...fabulous!

 

There's an upside to this you may not have considered. These people are probably not gun people for the most part. All their lives they've heard how easy it is to get a gun. Now they're having to jump through the hoops like everyone else. It may cause a change in attitude (except in SF).

 

Word is, she is taking a BBC reporter to the range tomorrow... I am amazed at how much traction this effort has gotten.

 

It would be funny if the anti's become seen as anti-LGBT by trying to deny their right to arms.

 

I really think this is an awesome idea and I think has the best chance to build bridges and bring more Americans together in support of the one admendment that will help defend all of us even the ones that hate it.

 

 

It would be funny if the anti's become seen as anti-LGBT by trying to deny their right to arms.

If it takes an attack on the rights of a "protected" group to cause people to realize that the anti-2A coalition want to take fundamental, important rights from all of us... well, at least some people are starting to wake up - I'll call that a step in the right direction.

 

LGBT gun rights group sees membership skyrocket after Orlando shooting

Pink Pistols has 35 active chapters across the U.S., and nationally, its Facebook membership has increased from 1,500 before the shooting to about 6,500 as of Monday afternoon, spokeswoman Gwendolyn Patton said. That hike has encouraged some and worried others.

 

time for me to throw that unused pink magpul furniture up on the Gun Broker.
