Gay and transgender liberals around the country are arming themselves over perceived concerns they’ll be rounded up and placed in “concentration camps” under a second Trump administration, according to a report.
The Philadelphia Inquirer on Sunday profiled several members of the emerging gun-toting left, who belong to groups with names like the Liberal Gun Club, the Socialist Rifle Association and Pink Pistols.
Although precise figures regarding LGBTQ gun ownership are tough to ascertain given the small cohort, the Liberal Gun Club told the outlet that it’s received “thousands” of firearms training requests since the election — more than in all of 2023 combined — and that about a quarter of them were from those in the LGBTQ community.
“Three months before the election, that’s when the alarm bells started to ring,” said a 24-year-old trans woman who recently decided to purchase a gun, identified by the outlet only as “A.”
“Minorities that are armed are more difficult to legally oppress,” she said, expressing relief that she’d be ready to fight back “in the event of hate crimes or terrorist attacks.”
The Philadelphia chapter of the Socialist Rifle Association — a left-wing take on the National Rifle Association — told the outlet it’s seen a “surge” of paid memberships, and that its gun safety classes have been filling up so fast it had to add more.
The Delaware Valley chapter of gay gun group Pink Pistols, which uses the slogan “Armed Gays Don’t Get Bashed,” similarly told the paper they’ve been inundated with inquiries from people seeking firearms training.
The group was founded in 2000 after an article was published in Salon by writer Jonathan Rauch in which he said “homosexuals should embark on organized efforts to become comfortable with guns, learn to use them safely and carry them.”

Us: you say Guns are bad, though.
Libs: we are worried something bad will happen to us.
Us: thats been our reasoning all along, you didn’t accept it.
Libs: but now we are the ones worried something bad will happen to us.
Us: you told us people don’t have a right to have guns though.
Libs: this is different, we are in danger now.
Us: you said just having a gun in the house puts everyone at risk of being shot.
Libs: stop using our words against us.
Guns are good now? What will they do if their attacker is black? What if the attacker is Muslim? So many questions.
OFFS.
They paranoid much?
Just wait until they meet their maker.
This is nothing compared to that.
“Pink Pistols”? WTF? I refuse to take this article seriously. I can just imagine the first time gay boy/girl/it shoots a gun. I’m picturing him/her/it dropping the pistol and running away peeing in whatever you’re called pants.
So guns are useful if the gov’t is coming after you? Who would have thunk it?
Good luck with all the gun-free zones liberals have created.
F**king drama queens.
If the sexual perversion weren’t enough proof that they’re insane, believing in concentration camps just confirms it.
Puh-leeze.
Their ‘attackers’ are women and little girls who are scared of them being in women’s restrooms.
Hey woman, is that a gun in your pocket? Or are you just a tranny?
the answer is AI powered “smart guns” that can determine if the target is black, muslim, trans, gay or commie and only fire if it isn’t.
“LGBTQ liberals start arming themselves over baseless fear of being placed in ‘concentration camps:’ report (Liberal Gun Club, Socialist Rifle Association, Pink Pistols)”
I can’t wait for overloaded ER’s with accidental gun shot wounds!😎
Well ... there were lots of posts on FR about how “they” were building concentration camps for “purebloods” during all the vaxx doomer hysteria. Just sayin’.
More proof of their psychological problems and delusional thought process.
Being any part of LGBTWRSTUVWXYZ freak show should be an automatic flag against gun ownership for mental issues.
I still don’t think mentally unstable adults should own guns. The trannies fit that bill.
Leftists, NOT “liberal”.
We had people from Pink Pistols in our 2nd Amendment activist group. We got along fine. I’ve trained one of my lesbian co-workers in shooting.
