I'd thow a load of money there way....
In all seriousness the LBGT? community (Not sure the right abrebiation...) is stong in MA and nationwide for that matter. I can only assume the majority dont support gun rights.
The government does a good job of breaking us up into groups when in reality we're one group ...Americans.. and while you can't get americans to agree on anything, we all should have more common ground.
Ill have to ask the few gay people i know, what there stance on the 2nd is.. might be an interesting conversation.
Alittle off topic but you would think BLM would be pro gun
BLM and LGBT march would make liberals head explode.
Not for nothing but black Americans have been getting the shaft on gun laws since the beginning of gun laws.
Not LGBTQ, but will support the Pink Pistols in anyway I can. I actually mentioned to several people that it was unfortunate there weren't Pink Pistols at Pulse....
I remember reading a story told by Chris Cheng after he won Top Shot and started working with the NRA. He said that when he, a geeky gay Asian software guy from CA, came on the show he expected some mention of his sexual orientation... but there wasn't any. Further, it was never mentioned on the show. He actually went and asked one of the producers why they didn't mention that he was gay and the producer shrugged and said "because it's irrelevant to how you shoot". I'm paraphrasing obviously but it was something along those lines. He also said the NRA has never brought it up.
This has been my experience as well. Gun totin' folks are generally super nice and friendly. The old adage of "an armed society is a polite society" comes to mind.The gun community hold some of the nicest most down to earth people I have ever encountered.
Once you get more contact info .
Fb link /email etc pleas post then I can spread the info to my friends to spread
We all gravitate to our "tribes". Its human nature. Gay tribe, black tribe, conservative tribe, whatever. People see themselves as "something" and look for their compatriots to bond with. We should all be working on developing people's loyalty to the gun tribe. It doesnt necessarily have to be an either/or thing either. IOW, being part of the gun tribe shouldnt mean youve abandoned your gay tribe or whatever. That also means being more accepting towards the people of your group who also belong to another. (which goes both ways)
From what understand they were members,or use to shoot at Braintree gun club years ago.This was what I was told,but Len might know more about it.
