Progressives Co-opt Yet Another Gullible Group For Gun Control

“LGBTQ people must fight for their safety against the epidemic of gun violence, just as hard as they have fought for equality,” they insist, citing a Southern Poverty Law Center anecdotal “report” on alleged harassment that says nothing about guns, but instead quotes from a handful of unsubstantiated and subjective accounts to smear Donald Trump supporters as intimidating haters.
These folks (SPLC, Everytown) and their ilk throw in virtually every progressive cause they can think of, and throw in gun control in order to connect it to the communities they are courting. It’s their bread and butter. They use people and then throw them away.
This particular community had better understand that their best bet is to buy guns, learn to use them, and oppose any and all connection with people and groups who would use them for gain.
And in that same vein, they should ask some Donald Trump supporters to teach them the proper use of guns. My bet is that there would be many willing teachers. Don’t disparage instruction. Everyone needs it, regardless of how it feels to have to go to someone else for help.
In the gun community if you just avoid the know-it-alls who think they are God’s gift to tacticool, most folks are more than glad to help out new gunners.
Give it a try.

See: Operation Blazing Sword.
The purpose was to assemble a group of firearm instructors from across the nation to volunteer to teach safe gun handling to anyone in the LGBTQ community who wanted to learn, for free or discounted costs. The response was overwhelming; the map of people willing to teach LGBTQ folks for free blanketed the country, very few places (outside of Alaska) don’t have at least one volunteer instructor within reasonable driving distance.
Bottom line: Everytown, MDA, ARS, Brady Campaign, VPC… they all want to mandate defenselessness, and once their goals are achieved they stop caring about the people who get hurt; they need bodies (both living and dead) to exploit, and the LGBTQ community is just one more potential self-designated victim pool from which to draw innocent blood to dance in.
The gun community, on the other hand, is literally going out of their way and donating their valuable time to include and empower LGBTQ folks to take care of themselves.
So which side are violent bigots again?

“epidemic of gun violence” Yeah, not so….. violent crime has decreased by something like %30-%50 over the last 40 years, but they won’t report that because it doesn’t fit the agenda.
The SPLC is a group of racist bigots who go around trying to tell everyone else who the racist bigots are. Nice try….but the common sheeple will eat it up.
