"I realized that I'm statistically more likely to be a victim. I'm trans, I'm a person of color, I'm more likely to be targeted.
I'm more likely to be in a place where everyone is being targeted, just like the Orlando folks. I was just like, damn, I need a gun more than these conservative rednecks do."
Doug Krick, a libertarian activist from Illinois, founded the Pink Pistols in July 2000, an organization that advocates gun ownership for the LGBTQ community. Pink Pistols aim to change the perception that the queer community is an easy target. Their mission statement as outlined on their site: |

Hey, embrace THIS, you leftist dimwits.
It has always been your right to go armed. You didn't need the "Trump Excuse" to do so, and the President and those of us who elected him are no threat to you.
OTOH, the Muslims invading our country ARE a threat to you, because the countries they emigrate from execute people for homosexuality, and they bring that culture with them.
ARE YOU THAT FRIGGIN' STOOPID? |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
