    Gay Pride, Gun Pride

    This is great!

    From Shotgun News:

    There was rumor going around the SHOT Show this year that the Pink Pistols, a gay 2nd Amendment group, would have a stand. That proved not to be the case, so far as I could tell, but it did raise a question.

    What do gay rights and gun rights have in common? More than you might think, I would say.
    The rest is here.

    The pink pistols, and any "gun group" who the general public don't think of as "gun people" for the most part, will be a big part of how we turn public perception in our favor. I hope we see more and more action from them in years to come.

            Along the same lines of my above comment, people like those will be one of our biggest obstacles to changing public opinion about gun rights and the people who support them.

            The stereotype that we're all bigoted rednecks is there for a reason, and it's a shame.

              Good article, to bad that every negative stereotype about gun owners showed up in the comments section.

                    Yeah a lot of the comments are pretty sad. I liked the article, and Shotgun News did the right thing to run it.

                        New York needs Pink Pistols immediately. The next two to four months are absolutely critical...but I know no one here who is a local visible figure of this criterion

                          There's a ton of it on Calguns too. Just mention "Gay Marriage" sometime and they come out of the woodwork.
