not want gays as dupes also. A buck is a buck no matter what who spends it.

when they make a choice to defend themselves against some very real threats. Sorry, but pro-gun groups are playing catch-up to an expanding and diversifying population of gun-owners.

The manufacturers have gunners rapped around their fingers by keeping them so afraid of life they keep buying more guns.
Now they drop the homophobia because it is passé and try to spread the fear.

visit a range. Where I am, there is a diverse crowd whose members are proud of who they are and seem to be unafraid of life.

The fear you imply may be closer to home.

these guys don't exist?

and therefore any gay person who owns a firearm is just buying into the fear created by the nra?

And "rapped" [wrapped] around the finger of the manufacturer I still wouldn't buy "more guns." Can only use one gun at a time, maybe two if you are Doc Holliday. Your premise lacks any basis in reality or any supporting facts. But maybe we should just trust you on this point?

They're trying to conflate the push for gun safety laws with homophobia!

It's absurd! You'll never find a more bigoted homophobic bunch than the NRA gun-huggers.

I think "WTF?!!!" sums it up best!

It's an absurd analogy.

The "MORE GUNZ EVERYWHERE" types just never quit, do they?

Everybody in the echo chamber "knows" there are no gay or lesbian gun owners.

We've been told repeatedly that the Pink Pistols either: A) do not really exist and are just a creation of the NRA PR machine, or B) they are a bunch of right wing phonies pretending to be gay just to give gun nuts cover. .

(All of which will come a surprise to the 4 classes of them I've taught Basic Pistol to so far.)

When you consider that much of the gun control mania from the late sixties was a direct Republican response to minority unrest of the time, I consider the issues of discrimination and civil rights (in this case the RKBA) are inextricably linked.

Gun control has (some) racist roots...

...IDK, maybe all the people who are killed and injured by people with guns? Especially when its in whole bunches at a time?

Which is, of course why 'disliking guns' is a bit more justifiable then 'disliking gays'. Really don't think all that many people would 'dislike guns', or try to pass laws controlling them better, if it wasn't for all the damage they can & do contribute to.

Theory:

The reason there is so much animosity/fear over guns is because many progressives have been in such retreat from and under such constant attack by the RW, they have chosen to crystalize their opposition to extremists in a gun culture. It's easy, it's handy, and there are elites which can still prop up some kind of "movement" (really an outlook) and for a time raise a stir. Unfortunately, this limited "thing" approach to massive social problems fails to promote the common good, and worse keeps the RW a well-oiled machine.

Gun-control is an insight into the larger failings of modern progressive politics, in terms of cohesive policy, self-identity, outreach to the citizenry, grassroots organization and lack of party presence.

Actually, given how far the other side has gone to try to tie together RKBA support and bigotry, I LOVE it.

Well not anymore, but back in the old days...

particularly when you're often the OP and never bothered to actually comment in the relevant thread?

However, while you're here, I would welcome your own thoughts about this particular OP...

That is why an act that is denounced in one thread is openly practiced in another:

More to the point, 'cafeteria Constitutionalists' of all flavors have no problem whatsoever
infringing or simply denying the rights of those they dislike, as see the recent actions
of the halfwits in charge of Irving, Texas...

used to bring the force of law against innocent people is why the Controllers are to be opposed, ignored and defied.

The Controllers here operate in a microcosm of that same hypocrisy.

yes i have and it was awesome.

Yeah how many people were killed in gay massacres in the US last year? How many times dow a family man turn his gay on his family and himself leading tho death?

Even you gun humpers would have to admit this is a fucking stupid analogy.

ever been to a pride parade? those things are bloodbaths.

Armed gays don't bashed.

That is equating human beings with objects.
