George Takei warns NRA: 'You don't want to mess with' LGBT community
Washington Times ^ | June 14, 2016 | Jessica Chasmar

Former "Star Trek" star and gay activist George Takei penned an op-ed for The Daily Beast Tuesday arguing that the First Amendment cannot be protected without limiting the Second, and calling for a "common-sense" ban on firearms "designed for mass slaughter."

Mr. Takei wrote that the LGBT community is grappling with the notion that Sunday’s terrorist attack on the Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando "was inspired by religious fanaticism."

Mr. Takei wrote that the constitutional right for citizens to own, purchase and sell "semi-automatic firearms" conflicts with their right to peaceably assemble "without undue fear of being targeted or killed."

It’s the fault of the NRA!
It’s the Christians fault!
It’s the gun’s fault!
It’s Donald Trumps fault!

Lets see, who else can we blame, except for the muslim shooter?

I lifted this from the comments section on this story in the Washington Times:

“His threat rings hollow when only days after someone “messed” with the gay community he can’t even bring himself to name the culprit and his motives.”

So, George, the rifle just up and walked into that gay bar all on its own, did it?

I believe your anger and message should be directed to the Muslim(s) that gunned down innocent victims, you moron!

The 2nd Amendment is the guarantor of the Bill of Rights.

Yeah George, why don’t you and your husband hold hands and share a smooch while taking a walk in a city in Saudi Arabia or maybe the UAE, and I’m sure you’ll see first hand what the folks who practice the religion of peace really think of you and your sexual orientation.

"...right to peaceably assemble "without undue fear of being targeted or killed."

Where is this "right" found? certainly not in the constitution. And it certainly isn't a right enjoyed by Trump supporters at a rally - we've seen them routinely beaten and treated brutally by the left, while the cops just looked on.

Had the club hired armed security when they took away the patrons right to carry under Florida law, for sure the Mad Muzzie would have been shot long before the body count grew past a dozen.

You have a right to protect yourself. The FBI should have made it so this killer and his father never got in the country. His father backs the Taliban, why is he here?

And why was the killer allowed to get a gun after 3 FBI interviews, they knew he was unstable, a ticking time bomb?

Did he notice that the perpetrator of the slaughter was a homosexual as well?
