Morphine Prince 109,997 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Memberships have more than doubled in a national LGBT pro-gun rights organization since a gunman opened fire at a gay nightclub in Florida, killing 49 people. Pink Pistols Utah chapter President Matt Schlentz said Pink Pistols membership has grown from 1,500 to 4,000 since Omar Mateen's June 12 rampage, the Salt Lake Tribune reported (http://bit.ly/29p0eMI). "It's really sad that something on this scale had to happen for people to realize this is a need for our community," Schlentz said. "But the reality is we still get attacked for kissing our partners or holding hands in public. We get windows smashed for having an equality sticker on them." Schlentz owns semi-automatic rifles similar to the Sig Sauer MCX that Mateen used, and he said he gets mixed reactions from people who learn he's a gun rights advocate. "Obviously, as a gay man, I have to have some liberal views socially. But on this one point, I have very conservative views. The reality is what it is — the world is a violent, terrible, scary place, and people do wish me harm based on who I love." Pink Pistols organized in 2000 in response to a series of violent incidents like the murder in Wyoming of gay college student Matthew Shepard. Some early slogans were "Queers bash back" and "Pick on someone your own caliber."

TrumpAteMyHeart 312 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Great news! If someone on the other side would have had a gun, that radical Muslim wouldn't have been able to kill so many innocent, young people. It's time the gays start fighting for themselves and stop being pawns & puppets to the Democratic Party. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
