George Takei warns NRA: 'You don't want to mess with' LGBT community

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."

"...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."

I think I see the disconnect between those people and the rest of us: Normal folks look for clues and then make decisions based on evidence.

Fags and metrosexual pajama boys "grapple with notions".

First off, Sulu, it's not a constitutional right. It's a constitutional protection of our natural right to life by defending ourselves.

Second, you should be looking a lot closer to home for someone messing with you over firearms because there you will find the Pink Pistols, an LGBTQ shooting group who put out a very strong statement in the aftermath of the Orlando shooting.
