"After all this is America. Just because people consider themselves members of the LGBT community doesn't mean they don't want gun rights," Rimmerman said. "It makes sense that some LGBT people would embrace that perspective as well, although not everyone in the community would agree with this perspective."
He believes people are looking for ways to respond to the Orlando shooting violence and one response could be owning a firearm. Many equate Second Amendment rights with personal freedom, liberty, and safety.

For years I have watched Christians being burned alive by the hundreds of thousands and that barely makes a blip on the media radar screen. 50 people who happened to be gay get killed and we will see and read about this for months to come. How come?
Marines were cut down in Tennessee at a recruitment center and one of the marines who had a gun who was not supposed to was going to be charged? Gays want guns and that is ok.
Still, I suppose if a gay group that wants guns pops up that is good for all gun owners. Still one wonders why some deaths are more important than others.
Can’t say that I blame them.
The more gun owners who treasure their Second Amendment rights, the better.
May Pink Pistols Prosper!
It is much harder for the left to demonize them, though they will try.
Imam Baraq is going to have to tell his Islamist friends to not attack gay clubs. It’s ruining his gun control agenda, when the deviants start buying guns.
No brainer for me.
this reactionary knee-jerk response doesn’t make sense for leftists. Do they think they’ll be able to take a handgun in a bar and protect themselves from another event like this? I pretty sure that most states bar guns where alcohol is served.
Anyone, GBLT, KofC, Kof Pythias, Military, LEOs or whomever, with similar tragic circumstances, needs to feel secure and regain their equilibrium after such an incident. Another reason to own a firearm! Even if you never have to or intend to use it.

The sadistic, vicious, temporwry occupier of the formerly revered Oval Office told them that their being armed to defend themselves at the Pulse defied common sense. Let them all die, what does he care?
FWIW, if some Islamist wannabee starts jihading someplace where I or my family are, I will be grateful if a gay with a CCW drops him.

The sodomites will still vote Hitlery.
So I would ask each of them, are you going to the polls in November to vote for the gun grabbers that admit they want to disarm you?
I daresay a lot of them are.
It’s called cognitive dissonance. I’ve known liberal gun owners, often a strange mix of hypocrisy, hubris, and IMO a dash of mental illness.
0bama = Gun Salesman of the Decade! :)
They will need a motto. Has there been any discussion on that?
Fags with mags?
Spears for queers?
When Stalin came to power he slaughtered over a million of his supporters. They had served their purpose.
Gays are there to serve their purpose no matter how many get slaughtered.
It’s still good for them to become gun owners. It should help break the fog of leftist propaganda about guns and gun owners. It’s also a first step to accepting personal responsibility for one’s own safety and becoming more fully psychologically adult.
I don’t see this as real progress. They’re still mentally ill, STD-spreading Typhoid Maries and you can bank on that they will promptly forget to vote pro-gun at the next opportunity because they’re still liberals. It’s not like doublethink is anything new to them, after all!
They obviously haven't thought it through yet - soon the Gays with guns will be the Uncle Toms of the Gay community....
It’s their right, but I’m also a bit concerned about having the likes of God/Christian-hating misanthrope Dan Savage and his fellow sisters carrying guns, as unhinged and prone to violence as they are. He’s better left to suck doorknobs, his preferred mode of attack against conservatives.
