Sad to see what has become of the Pink Pistols

[strakill]

That is, as far as I'm aware, on of the things Pink Pistols was trying to overcome. It is also it's downfall.

I supported the idea of trying to pry away people that put themselves into the that little identity category and show them what the 2A and it's supporters are all about.

But the alphabet mafia and leftists just can't have their narrative of lies exposed so here we are.

I knew better at the time but I figured why not throw some support behind the Pink Pistols to see if it can gain traction. Oh well, live and learn.

Seriously, strakill, no one asked you for your opinion

To be fair, you did roll in here with some opinions that you knew were going to provoke others. If a pissing match started, please be sure you acknowledge everyone who got it rolling (or flowing, so to speak).

As I posted earlier, if there are people in the Bay Area of demographics who are truly interested in learning about firearms and the 2A, but who are concerned that they would not be welcomed by the shooting community, I invite you to contact me about a range session at Richmond Rod & Gun Club. I can provide the guns and ammo...you just reimburse me for the range fee ($15) and the ammo that you shoot.

[Gryff]

It's human nature to want the protection of your community when trying something new, especially if that new thing is associated with a demographic that has a historical/stereotype or antipathy towards your original group. I get it.

My experience is that once you are on the range and make someone feel like you aren't judging them, they don't feel the compulsion to constantly wave a non-shooting banner while they are there.

Heterosexual white females using firearms for self defense didn't sit well with that group. They were a better advocate of body shaming than they were for gun rights.

Who cares if a person that supports the 2A and RKBA is a part of another “community”? If they can follow the Four Rules, it’s not my business, I don’t ask, and don’t care. Let’s talk guns, shooting, ammo, reloading, and classes first. The other dosen’t matter.

THEY VOTE TO RESTRICT YOUR 2A RIGHTS.


OP do you vote Democrat? Did you vote for Trump or Biden?

Nobody asked for your unsupported, dismissive, and completely provocative claims in such a thread. Please take them somewhere else and learn to be more respectful to others.

isn't that special- gaslighting AND an attempt to cancel me in the same response.

let me submit that such desires are integral to intersectionality.

[TomReloaded]

Thats not what gaslighting is... but whatever, its a popular word to throw out any second people see an opening these days.

Pink pistols shoots monthly. Calguns is an old boomer group of conservatives, you're not going to get accurate info on pink pistols here, or any of the other very large, very active lgbtq gun groups that exist.

I offer basic gun safety for groups like that. Massively overwhelmingly, people have been threatened with violence their whole life and they're not interested in being victims, so they're buying guns. There's a whole slew of wild preconceived or projected emotions in this thread that in my experience havent applied at all. People are just out here trying not to get assaulted a second or third time sometimes.

Maybe gay and lesbian folk don't want to shoot with traditional pro 2a groups because, well, see this thread.

Sacramento Pink Pistols, meets for monthly shooting. https://www.meetup.com/sacramento-pink-pistols/

A Google search brings up https://www.pinkpistols.org/find-a-local-chapter/ first result. This looks like the National Organization to me.

Looks like an ordinary organization web site far as I can tell. Pink Pistols have been around for many years that I've heard of.

Everyone has the right to exist, to give and get respect and civility. Everyone has the right to self defense.

I believe that the more people who are educated, trained and gain skill with firearms, the better off for all of us.

If you are uncomfortable being with those who are different than yourself, you always have the choice to leave. No reason to get rude. There's plenty of free space for everybody.
