After Orlando, Many in LBGT Community Rush To Buy Guns (Video in the link)
Townhall.com ^ | June 16, 2016 | Katie Pavlich

In the wake of the horrific Orlando terror attack on gay night club Pulse, the media airwaves have been saturated with calls for gun control. 

Last night Senate Democrats held a filibuster (in the Capitol building, which is protected by men and women with guns) to push the issue. Earlier this week Actor George Takei called on the LBGT community to demand gun bans in the aftermath, saying in an op-ed this week, "We might help lead this country towards a collective right to participate and live free of fear and terror, and ultimately toward a common-sense, permanent ban on weapons designed for mass slaughter."

But many in the gay community aren't buying the narrative and gun sales among the group are spiking.

As the report above noted The Pink Pistols, an LBGT gun rights group, has seen it's membership double since the Orlando attack. 

“The Pink Pistols gives condolences to all family and friends of those killed and injured at Pulse,” First Speaker of the Pink Pistols Gwendolyn Patton said in a statement earlier this week. “This is exactly the kind of heinous act that justifies our existence. At such a time of tragedy, let us not reach for the low-hanging fruit of blaming the killer’s guns. Let us stay focused on the fact that someone hated gay people so much they were ready to kill or injure so many. A human being did this. The human being’s tools are unimportant when compared to the bleakness of that person’s soul. I say again, GUNS did not do this. A human being did this, a dead human being. Our job now is not to demonize the man’s tools, but to condemn his acts and work to prevent such acts in the future.” 

Self-defense is a human right, period.

A Liberal mind.

THERE ARE EVIL PEOPLE. THEY WANT TO KILL YOU. GIVEN THE CHANCE, THEY WILL KILL YOU. IF NOT WITH A GUN, THEN WITH A KNIFE OR A PRESSURE-COOKER BOMB OR PIPE BOMB OR HUNDREDS OF OTHER WAYS.

A Liberal mind -- what a waste.

Reminiscent of the old definition, “A conservative is a liberal who’s been mugged.”

Not sure I’m very happy about a large number of unbalanced and psychologically unstable people running out and arming themselves.

If the LGBT crowd is as ferocious about their newfound love for the 2A as they are on other things, we’re sitting pretty.

Interestingly, Ann Coulter gave at least one speech to a homosexual organization and suggested that they are ‘natural conservatives’. At the time they didn’t buy it.

Maybe shaking hands with reality changes some things.

My first reaction to reports of gays going out and buying guns was something like this: "I hope these people go out and get some range time so that they can use their new weapons proficiently."

I want to see Liberal heads explode with this.

Would they prefer Mr. Sulu was bending over forwards?
