A new group in the LGBT community has formed to spread awareness about gun violence.
Gays Against Guns formed in the aftermath of the Orlando shooting and met on June 17 to officially organize and make plans to be in the NYC Pride March, according to a press release.
The group, comprised of LGBT New Yorkers and allies, marched during the Pride parade on Sunday to help remember the 49 victims of the Orlando shooting and to spread awareness of their message.
However, its main goal is to advocate working through peaceful actions to prevent another massacre like the Orlando shooting.
The group will focus on gun policy in the U.S., specifically banning access to high-capacity magazine guns and assault weapons, creating stricter background check systems, banning gun sales over the internet and closing the loophole that allows weapons sales at gun shows without background checks.
The group’s website said it aims to formalize its responsibility and find its place within the larger gun control movement.
“Government has failed us. Life is valuable, and we’re at our best when life is celebrated in peace. Actions speak louder than petitions, lobbyists, prayers, thoughts and moments of silence,” the statement read.

Yeah, that’ll work.
I know! Let’s buy them a ticket to downtown ISISstan and they can float their proposal there!
Next time some crazed person starts shooting them, they can defend themselves with spit wads.
Precisely what I was thinking.

The next time some insane muslims starts shooting at them, and they have no guns, they’ll instinctively know to quickly get down on fours and........shoot back at ‘em.
The day they can demonstrate a gun being violent I’ll join them.
Please tell me you are not taken aback at the unmitigated gall the media has shown, repeatedly....

In other news, a woman in Portland, OR returned home last night with her children, 5 and 10 yrs old, and found a 59yr old man waiting for them in an upstairs bedroom.
Autopsy today will confirm he died of gunshot wounds.
The woman was not charged.
