The LGBTQ community does not appreciate the association you are making between jarheaded gun wavers and sexual preference.

@1 Incels with tiny penises who are obsesses with guns are clearly heterosexuals. The LGBQT community are their victims, along with women and children and all other heterosexual men who disagree with their demands of being allowed to arm themselves and murder anyone they please.

2 - I think he may have been joking.

Nope. This writer is ranting against bigotry while at the same time using homophobic innuendo to bash them. So obviously they're saying shit like this to sound woke but clearly they are closeted bigots, arguably worse than those who "wear it on their sleeves".

The actual Second Amendment -- it's only one sentence long; you can read it for yourself -- calls for a well-regulated militia. My guess is that the present generation of gun nuts knows they could never pass muster.

4 - I think it's presumptuous to speak for the "LGBT community." I'm gay and I don't have a problem with what the writer said.

@6 Thanks for your input. I'm bi and I do. But I'm glad someone had a happy childhood.

@5 THANK YOU! So many wingnuts like to wave their guns and have no idea that the second amendment is about defending ourselves from an oppressive government.

"... defending ourselves from an oppressive government."

We (some of us*) have machine guns and they have Nukes.
I think the balance is tipped a bit in their favor.

*not me

@9: sadly, that's exactly the same reasoning as lead to the utter failures in viet nam, afghanistan, iraq and yemen. bigger guns don't assure victory, merely a more painful and prolonged failure. the idea that nuclear weapons could be used by americans against americans is too nonsensical to contemplate. do you honestly think that dropping nukes on ourselves is a real possibility?

@10 -- nah.

But then, I didn't believe trumpfy was a remote Possibility.
And see how Far we've come since drove the Clown Car off the rails...

He's cornered, dangerous, easily offended and highly unstable.
If Iran and N. Korea come after him (US) when he's at his most Vulnerable,
do you really think Rationalism's gonna have any place in his failing, flailing Administration?

I don't trust Donny the-J-is-for-genius trump.
Nor his henchmen. Oh, plus FOX, so,
all his overly-well armed locksteppers, too.

Sometimes, they say, it only takes a teeny, tiny little spark...

Oh -- haha!!! "Defend against an oppressive government" HAHA!!! But that's not hiw you use the guns, bro. You bring 'em to school to shoot your classmates. You gun down the mother of your children, sometimes right before their eyes. Sometimes you gun down the children, too: infants, toddlers, sixth graders and the like. A gun bro opened fire on a Jazzercise class because he had trouble getting a date. You lie in wait for first responders, opening fire on people who can't refuse your bogus call for help. You shoot drivers of vehicles who took the exit ramp in front of you. Oppressive governments, indeed. How sorry I am that you completely mistook my post, which was intended to point out that gun nuts don't even know about that Second Amendment or any others, for that matter. Frankly, gun nuts, YOU'RE THE OPPRESSORS! And as the OP pointed out, this problem is wildly skewed toward a particular gender. How are you going to regulate your motherfucking militia to fix the oppressive government of Gun Nuts?

How sorry I am about how sorry you are that I completely mistook your post, which you are completely mistaken about. But at least it sparked a decent dialogue...
