Gun sales surge among gays, lesbians after Orlando shooting

DENVER -- Gun sales are surging in the wake of Sunday’s deadly mass shooting in Orlando, Fla. The tragedy is generating new debate over gun control reform and the right to bear arms.

Gun shops typically see a spike in customers after mass shootings. But this time, many are seeing shoppers they’ve never really seen before: More gays and lesbians.

George Horne, the owner of The Gun Room, Denver’s oldest firearms dealer, said Tuesday business is booming at his store.

"For this time of year I’d say its three to four times what we normally have," he said.

Background checks that once took minutes can now take hours. It's a sales surge similar to what happened after Sandy Hook and the Aurora theater shootings.

I guess my point was, how do they know they're gay when their buying a gun?

I know some gay men look effeminate but some don't.

Just curious.

“so you do not like a certain group of people because of their sexuality, “

Whatever. I rather not have ANY mentally ill lib, straight of not, be owning firearms. Radical Muslims, too.

Well, if they’re waiting for Barack (The Muzzie) or Hillary (The Muzzie-Lover) to protect them...I know a bar named The Pulse where they can wait.

Self-preservation trumps all!

Nice.

Nothing like getting smacked upside the head by reality to convert a liberal to a pro-gun rights , well, moderate at least.....

It's a step in the right direction cause that's going to make it all the harder for the anti-gun activists to push their agenda.

Exactly so.

If the 1%, political elites and celebrities were unable to afford armed guards, they would be the biggest supporters and greatest contributors/ benefactors of the 2nd Amendment and NRA rather than being the greatest enemy of both.

Being armed is no guarantee you will prevail against a bad guy.
Being unarmed is an absolute guarantee he will have his way with you.

"It is amazing to watch, and I am shocked that not everyone sees how the left has utterly abandoned the gay, Gay, Black inner cities, and the Jewish communities in favor of the Muslims and others coming in this country.",

Fixed it. the DNC can't or won't hold these groups together, their self interest are not aligned. I am waiting for these groups fracture like an early automatic transmission in the early Muscle Car Drag Racing days with parts spewing everywhere, and transmission fluid all over the place. It won't be pretty...

Yes, but do you love your firearm?

Could that be a form of a alternative relationship?

I love my Taurus Judge. It’s a bitch to the bad guys.

How would they know the purchaser is gay or lesbian ? Sexual activities would not be on sales or registration form!

Heck, I don’t know. Maybe they’re volunteering the info. Maybe it’s just anecdotal.

Really? How can they tell? Do these shoppers look or talk or act in some distinctive way?

I'm so confused, dutifully keeping up with homosexual theology and biology. I thought they were just like anyone else, except for matters that are totally privates--I mean private. Let's not get into that before dinner.

And since now we're taught that one's sex is all, so to speak, in the mind, how can anyone be said to be homosexual? How do we know a poofter isn't someone who is self-identifying as a woman, and therefore actually is a woman, rather than a poofter?

I'm trying to be fair. If this "identifying" thing is real, who's to say, but maybe folks don't always recognize it when they themselves are identifying as the opposite sex? That could come up in divorce cases a lot. Probably criminal cases, too. (Somehow. Really disgusting ones.) And wait, is there really an "opposite" sex? That would imply some natural dichotomy about sex, arising from function, purpose, design, ontology. In other words, from reality.

Maybe doctors or special gnostic experts from the servile state are the only ones who really know what sex someone is. When you're denying reality and don't want people to laugh at you, only the state can protect you. Protect you, that is, at the price of everyone's liberty, including yours. And in time, at the price of your life.

How do they know this? Are they monitoring the customers and making assumptions ‘Yeah, I KNOW she’s gay, and him over there too!”
