While House Democrats continued their childish temper tantrum intended to deprive Americans of the right-of-self-defense through secret Government lists without due process, gay folk who are not going to count on the Obama Administration to protect them are arming up and hitting the range. (Wise Choice)
It was a unique offer by the Shiloh Shooting Range in northwest Harris County, just days after the shooting at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando. Shiloh offered free gun classes to the LGBT community and hundreds of people responded.
“We learned gun safety,” said Jared Anthony. “We learned that it’s not … it’s a big responsibility. If you do carry, it’s something that you do need to take seriously. You are providing … you’re providing a service to the community really.”
Maybe some gays will wake up and realize that the Democrats would happily disarm them and leave them at the mercy of terrorists.
And some of them are getting the point that relying on someone else to protect you is actually the more selfish stance. Arming yourself, learning how to use a firearm safely, being ready to protect yourself AND OTHERS is really the less selfish option.
And this is why responsible gun owners are furious with most of the anti-gun people. They would never turn a gun on someone that was not threatening them, and yet they are looked upon as potential terrorists, which is absurd, since to be a terrorist, you have to want to cause terror, not shoot a gun.
I have been a proud member of the NRA for years. Why is it taking “gays” so long to realize that you can get to your gun faster than the police can get to your house. NB All the major tyrants of the last two centuries have first confiscated the citizens guns before that confiscated their freedoms
If the Orlando gunman was, as some reports suggest, gay, then the NRA would’ve happily trained him to be an even more effective killer.
What a bunch of pussies having a sit in. Someone should douse them in gasoline and light them on fire.
Funny that frazzled is worried the NRA would make someone a ‘more effective killer’ Apparently when he wants to remove people who disagree with him from the earth, he’s afraid they might shoot back.
Frizzled/frazzled, another troll on board
“What a bunch of pussies having a sit in. Someone should douse them in gasoline and light them on fire.”
So you advocate violence against people who use peaceful protest means? That’s lovely. Where have we seen that before? Oh right, during the civil rights movement.
Comrade Boxer brought in granola bars for the lefties. Now we can call them granola liberals. arc
“And some of them are getting the point that relying on someone else to protect you is actually the more selfish stance.’
Yup, yup and yup!
The_Livewire, I’ve never met anyone who could shoot back when the first thing they know about a threat to their life is a 2700fps lead slug in their medulla oblongata, but perhaps you’re the exception.
@ 4. That’s a thought. It’s obvious that none of them will be voted out office. Their constituents don’t want to lose their freebies. I wonder what the murder rate is in their districts. Probably the majority with illegal weapons. How many on the floor have armed body guards? They should disarm them and bring their firearms into the chamber and have the security guards remove them. Then their screams would have validity. Otherwise, they’re just a bunch of hypocrites and should be exposed as suchd
Wrong premise, Poseidon. When you are a private citizen and embrace your First Amendment right to peacefully protest, you are protected until it turns violent. Once it becomes a riot, then your protection vanishes. (Incidentally, that’s when the SECOND Amendment kicks in – at least for me.)
However, denying access to Congress to do their business is a felony and it does not matter who does it. When these Congress people staged their sit-in, they gave up their immunity by doing so.
You see, Poseidon, their immunity is provided if they are on the way to a session, but if they deny others the ability to go to that very same or any other session then they should be arrested, handcuffed and perp walked on national TV.
I do not expect it to happen. Congress could then vote to censure all the participants. But I’m not holding my breath.
And speaking of which – if this was such an important issue for the Dhimmicrats, then why didn’t they use the two years when they didn’t require a single Republican vote to ram through any legislation they wanted?
Checkmate.

There’s also a reason why nobody in the State-Run Media is covering the LGBT communities’ embrace of their Second Amendment rights.
Here’s my theory. Hillary Clinton has lost TWENTY-THREE percent of the LGBT vote since the Orlando shooting: http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/06/gay-support-donald-trump-soars-islamist-pulse-club-massacre/#st_refDomain=t.co&st_refQuery=/PYLb8iKIlY
This is a massive drop in support, which is unprecedented for this core constituency of Dhimmicrats. She sided with Muslims over gays, and now she’s feeling the heat.
However, rather than focus on that, the MSM features hippie burnouts and septuagenarian black militants desperately trying to keep their disillusioned voters on the reservation, aided and abetted by worthless social media companies and Muslim collaborators.
The Dhimmicrats have literally pulled out all the stops. And it’s embarrassing, actually. They’re throwing everything they have at Shrillary’s astroturf campaign. The despair is palpable. The comical rage from lunatics that previously insisted they weren’t interested in banning guns, now calling to ban guns. The White House and Soros are creating a distraction that they hope will stave off the mass exodus of gay voters. They also want to overcompensate for Omar Mateen’s redacted transcripts, which displayed a stunning cowardice and lack of leadership.
Now you can see where this panic and sudden “call to action” is coming from. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so disturbing. Yeah, let’s make it easier for Muslims to kill gays and then disarm them so they can’t shoot back! Hillary 2016! *Heavy sarcasm*

Hitlery has lost a third of gay vote since this. Only a third? Really?
And Rangle says law abiding people shouldn’t be armed but political elite need armed security. Well most of us can’t afford it because we pay for you, and why do you need it anyway if you think gun laws will get rid of all guns? Sorry Charlie, you and your elites aren’t more important than the rest of us.
Peter, I’m not disputing any of what you have to say up there in #12 and #13. I get your argument. My entire point of my comment is this – it’s disgusting to read comments, her or anywhere else, advocating that certain Americans should be “doused in gasoline” and lit on fire. To encourage that is to be no better than the violent racists that opposed civil rights in such ways.
I used to like reading this website. But like so many other sites, I’ve cut back and really can’t be bothered most of the time, because this is what passes for acceptable discourse – advocating violence against one another. And that goes for both ends of the spectrum. It just sucks.
Hey neptune, I wouldn’t actually do something like that. I’m just venting at the situation. People say things that they don’t mean when they’re mad.
Isn’t that what al-Cray-da keeps telling us? Oh, wait…

Fair enough, pawfurbehr. It’s not like I have never vented. 🙂 We’re all human after all. Best to you all on here.
Yeah, frazzeled is all about kiliing people who disagree with him, apparently at range.
Is anyone surprised?
FWIW, I took pawfurbehr to mean that sit-ins are ONLY effective when you’re dealing with ideological opponents who would never in a million years dream of burning you to death in the first place.
In other words, Gandhi’s methods would not have worked if the British had been more like Nazis.
@3: Shame on the NRA for not having Betazoid telepathic powers that would allow them to know in advance whether someone might eventually use firearms skills for the purposes of mass murder rather than self-defense!
I would add that organic chemistry professors will happily teach students the basic principles that might, in theory, be used to convert harmless over-the-counter decongestants to life-destroying crystal meth.
I don’t advocate pouring gasoline on anyone, but haven’t the Capitol Police ever heard of Tasers and/or pepper spray?

Frizzed thinks didndus that normally only hit those they are not aiming at will be making headshots.
Hey Neptune while he might not douse gimmedats with gas and light them on fire I would gladly garrote moslems “lawfully” given the death penalty while wearing a luchador mask on live TV. Moslems and illegals better behave or El Grande Guapo Faggatto will get them.
