Firearms retailers are reporting a surge in sales among gays and lesbians in the aftermath of the Orlando massacre.

Gun sales typically surge after a mass shooting as people take steps to ensure their personal security, but now a new cohort is heading to the gun store: LGBT folks.

KDVR reports: "However, what’s different this time around is the clientele. Mike Smith, a firearms instructor in Colorado Springs, is one of many closely tracking the sudden surge in gays and lesbians buying weapons."

Not surprised. The dhs is on the job watching out for them crazy right wing extremists. Moose limb vetted attackers, not so much. So, arm up glbtq crowd and learn the craft cause ain't nobody gonna protect you but you.

I didn’t know there was a line item on the gun permit for ‘sexual preference’.

[rktman]

Yeah, it made me wonder about someone tracking that. But if they’re buying, it works for me.

Terrific. So gays will vote for Trump so they can keep their newly acquired weapons which they need to protect them from Obama/hillary's faves...the Radical Islamic Terrorists.

When are blacks going to wake up and realize that they really need to be armed to defend themselves from hispanics who are being allowed to flood the country to replace them?

[Dilbert San Diego]

There isn’t of course. This is just anecdotal evidence on the part of people. Some people in their appearance and mannerisms appear to be gay.

I didn’t know there was a line item on the gun permit for ‘sexual preference’.

HA! How IS this determination being made?

And I guess the title, 'Feather Duster and Purse Sales Soar as Gay Community Arms Itself' wouldn't quite have the same impact.

Really? How do they calculate this statistic? Is there a space on the application for the gun permit to list your sexual preference? Or, when the person walks in the store, the dealer just assumes it to be so?

[pepsionice]

This is a bogus item....who the heck would ask such questions or want to track this?

Does anyone in Detroit ever ask locals if they are armed and what race they are?

[BitWielder1]

They're gonna run out of pink guns so fast.

Gaydar.

Since Florida law allows guns in restaurants that serve alcohol, places like `Pulse’ may go out of business while restaurants take off.

Maybe they verbalize.

What’s to say another jihadi wouldn’t do a mass killing at a ‘straight’ night club. After all, Western women who patronize those places ‘dress like whores,’ AND they drink alcohol. So many targets! Never enough jihadis.

[Genoa]

He’s not what I would call a straight shooter.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Gays learned the hard way that their lives are worth less to the DemocRats than Muslims’ hurt feelings.

[Rennes Templar]

I saw Don Lemon on CNN last night interview a gay “couple” who lost a friend in the attack. Good Lord, can’t ever see those “guys” owning a gun let alone use it.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Yeah, how do they know? Are they all coming in, decked out in pink and rainbows?

[Red Badger]

Only if the sales of alcohol in the restaurant is less than 50% of business.................

We need to keep educating people of the need to eliminate "gun free zones" -

Any time you hear that phrase, immediately correct it by calling what it really is -

A "Target Rich Environment For Terrorists"!
