Gun Sales to Gays, Lesbians Skyrocket Following Orlando Terror Attack
Permalink  
 

Gun sales to gays and lesbians are skyrocketing in the wake of the Orlando terror attack.

Alleged Islamist Orlando attacker Omar Mateen was “angered” by watching two men kiss, according to The Daily Beast. His alleged attack on a gay nightclub–Pulse Orlando–killed approximately 50 and wounded 53.

Fox 31 Denver reports that gun sales to gays and lesbians are now through the roof. George Horne owns Denver’s The Gun Room and he says business “for this time of year…[is] three to four times what [they] normally have.” He and other gun store owners and instructors say the surge isn’t unprecedented–there is usually one after a high-profile attack–but what is unprecedented are the numbers of gay and lesbian customers.

Mike Smith is a Colorado Springs firearms instructor and he suggests the surge in gay and lesbian customers reminds us that gun owners are no longer the stereotypical group of old white men. He said, “I think right now because of what happened, people are looking for answers. You walk into a gun shop and you expect to see people, frankly, who look like me. I think we forget we’re a country of all people, not just people who fit that predetermined mold.”

The Pink Pistols–a gay gun rights group–saw their membership grow over 100 percent on June 13 alone.

Some of you think the problem is guns themselves. The problem is that people are being killed with guns by criminals. So, what do law abiding citizens then choose to do? They arm themselves. So, the Left can poo poo that but the reality is that we want to be able to defend ourselves and we have the RIGHT to defend our own lives.

The left are in a pickle with the "Pink Pistols. The left doesn't know how to support to the LGBT when they LGBT also want guns.

From the Pink Pistols website.

Gwendolyn Patton, First Speaker of the Pink Pistols, an international GLBT self-defense organization, warns people not to jump immediately to the assailant’s guns as the object of blame, but to concentrate instead on Mateen’s violent acts. “The Pink Pistols gives condolences to all family and friends of those killed and injured at Pulse,” began Patton. “This is exactly the kind of heinous act that justifies our existence. At such a time of tragedy, let us not reach for the low-hanging fruit of blaming the killer’s guns. Let us stay focused on the fact that someone hated gay people so much they were ready to kill or injure so many. A human being did this. The human being’s tools are unimportant when compared to the bleakness of that person’s soul. I say again, GUNS did not do this. A human being did this, a dead human being. Our job now is not to demonize the man’s tools, but to condemn his acts and work to prevent such acts in the future.”

Patton’s concerns are that knee-jerk gun-control efforts may make preventing future events harder rather than easier, as only the law-abiding potential victims will be affected by such laws. “It is difficult, if not impossible, to foresee such an event,” continues Patton, “But if they cannot be prevented, then they must be stopped as fast as someone tries to start them.”

 Yeah, because they finally wise up and realize that laws and cops can't protect them the way having a gun can.

Of course there will be a boost in gun sales after a mass shooting.

There is also a boost in weather radios after tornadoes.

 On that thread, you posted a vague blog meant to incite the uninformed, like you.

You really didn't answer the question. 

But that's ok. I knew you couldnt.

You gave a vague statistic from a group who wants to remove all guns.

Guns are not the problem. The administration has issued orders to FBI to leave muslims alone unless someone from inside a mosque asks for help.

Sorry, former assistant director. www.thepoliticalinsider.com/former-fbi-official-risking-his-life-just-exposed-obama-in-a-huge-way/

He gave an interview last night I believe, to Megyn Kelly.  The article does not include that statement, but if you listen to the interview, he discloses that little tidbit.

What would surprise me more is if gays and lesbians purchasing firearms dropped after what happened.

I'm not surprised in the least that their purchase count has risen. People need to be able to protect themselves. The best sure fire (pardon the pun) way to do that is to: own, know how to use, and carry - a gun.

Yes, there are pink guns. I think that owning one however is not really a great idea. Being pink it looks like a toy, and we all know how kids love to play with toy guns.

Real guns should never look like toys.
