Pink Pistols: where gay rights and gun rights meet
PioneerPress.com ^ | 7/26/16 | Richard Chin

If you’re gay, it sometimes can be difficult to tell friends that you’re also a gun owner.

Mark Steiger describes it as “coming out of the gun safe.”

If you’re for both gay rights and gun rights, Steiger runs an organization you might want to join.

He’s head of the Twin Cities chapter of the Pink Pistols, a shooting group open to people of any sexual orientation that encourages gun ownership among the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.

It’s part social group, part gun-safety education provider and part advocacy organization devoted to preserving the rights of gays to protect themselves with firearms if necessary.

“We teach queers to shoot,” according to the group’s website. “Armed queers don’t get bashed.”

I've met several of these folks over the years , here, in MN.

I'm not particular when it comes to someone saving lives with a gun.

There, I said it.

I don’t care what consenting adults do, as long as they’re 2nd Amendment supporters.

Used to hang out at a gun building site where some of these guys checked in. We called them “The gang that can’t shoot straight” and they thought it was funny.

"Pink Pistols"
STUPID even if it's catchy. They are just folks getting tired of being scared. Packing DOES give one a sense of safety. My hubby packed. I LOVED it.

He taught me how to shoot.
Our target was the head of Osama bin Laden.
I got so I could NAIL that ahole's beard at twenty feet. That was good for me.

Because the pink has nothing at all to do with the stink, though it is only an inch and a half away... These folks are pro-stink, and have no right to sully the pink by claiming it as their own.

Reminds me of a poem I wrote once. It was an appeal to two FReepers, both Christians, who were saying some un-Christian things in an argument over gay-ness (as we are all mayhaps wont to do at times). But it seems to fit here:

Flung Dung Poop Storm
© 2011 by Gargantua

How badly a hole stinks when filled with dung,
and with those to whom dung is most fun when flung.

For what shall it profit a smelly stinky bum,
when all of his very best dung has been flung?

Yea, thee, I prithee, just what limp-wristed sissy,
would it take to make a flung dung poop storm wane...

...when those whom hath flungeth lived in holes quite so dungeth,
yet ever did fealty to His Name yet feign?
