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."

Another Liberal nutter who won’t face facts, Mateen chose fealty to Islam over the sacred gayness. But George doesn’t have the courage to question that or even dare suggest that Obama address muslims to tell them they have a choice of Islam or not.

When was the last time NRA targeted gays?
When was the last time NRA committed an act of terror?

That's right, NEVER.

Now, when was the last time Muslims did?

Funny thing is that most anyone from the NRA, properly armed, would have done everything they could to prevent the disaster.

Takei hates heroes that run towards danger. Much easier to play armchair QB the next day, when all of the shooting is over.

inspired by religious fanaticism

Yup, key words here. Let's compare not baking a cake with mass murder. Way to go Takei.

The LGBT community and the NRA are not mutually exclusive. In fact, many in the gay community are now buying guns to defend themselves.

The murders couldn’t possibly be to blame because political correctness caused the FBI to take the murderer off the Terror Watch List, could it>
