“An anti-violence organization recorded 52 anti-LGBTQ homicides in the U.S. in 2017,” an email blast from The Trace reports, “the most it’s ever recorded in a single year. 53 percent of the victims were killed with guns.” Hey! Not “by” guns! Well done Bloombergians! And if you think about it . . .
53 percent is just over half. A fact — if a fact it is — that indicates that the LGBTQ community needs to pay attention to something other than guns. In terms of threats headed in their direction, I mean. In terms of countering a threat, they should pay a lot of attention to guns. As in tooling-up.
Clicking over to the report by the anti-violence org in question — the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (NCAVP) — we learn that the study calls the LGBTQ people shot and killed in 2017 victims of “hate violence homicide.”
We also learn that police shot and killed three of the firearms-related LGBTQ homicides cited. Are we to assume that those police shootings were motivated by “hate violence”? A citation would help there . . .
The NCAVP study also reveals that 32 percent of victims knew their killer. Again, do we know for sure that the killer murdered their victim because they were LGBTQ? I mean, that is the point of this report, yes?
You and I know it’s not the means that’s important. It’s the murderer’s intent.
More than that, we know that all Americans have a natural, civil and Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms. We The People of the Gun lament the loss of any innocent life, regardless of race, color, creed or sexual orientation. We encourage all LGBTQ self-identifiers to exercise their gun rights in their own defense. That is all.
Oh bullshit. Just because someone was murdered happened to be gay doesn’t make it anti gay violence. Perhaps the murderer was also gay, making it gay on gay violence. Just more fake news.
Lesbians have a high rate of domestic violence in their relationships, much more than straight couples, and much, much more than gay guys. Bitches be crazy.
We must end this Ze on Zer violence!
I might have been in a slightly similar situation.
When I lived in rural upstate NY . My business partner and I would regularly shoot in an area off of a state road about 1000 feet in from the road . In a slightly wooded area of state land. We used a rather large tree as our backstop. People had been shooting there for decades. There was a decent natural backstop of rising land and used tires set up. 6 feet long by 2 tires deep about 6 foot high.
We proceeded to do some target shooting.
After firing about 50 rounds we stopped to change targets. My partner said did you hear that? I said no and then did. It was a horse or 2 whinnying.
As it turns out over the winter. Someone decided this was a good place to cut a horse trail. Being state land no one to ask permission of. In effect we were or could have been shooting in their general direction.
We took the high road, stopped and left.
I never heard of any incidents there after this had happened to us. This was an area used by many folks to target shoot. I used my own property to shoot from then on.
I got this site from my pal who informed me concerning this website and at the
moment this time I am visiting this website and
reading very informative content at this place.
Historically, the most common cause of homicide among gays is Anally Injected Death Serum. Since 1985, everyone on the planet has known how AIDS is spread so all those deaths from it are either homicide or suicide. Knowingly spreading AIDS is assault to commit murder and/or murder.
Except in California.
Putting police shootings as a seperate line item is interesting. I suspect this group does not know the difference between murder and justifiable homicide.
Then again, live with the Village People…
Never had to call Taurus with SIX bought…it helps if you’re not inept!!! Feel free to comment????
Love me some Tuco.
Note that the revolvers used cased ammo, not cap & ball. They were based on conversions I believe. I am still considering having my Walker Colt converted to .45 LC. However, 10mm being what it is…
Somebody should make a small 2 shot 9mm derringer.
Guess what someone has! Guess who! Give up? Answer: BOND ARMS , same company that makes the BULLPUP 9. Of course you would not know this. How could you when all you want to do is criticize without knowing the facts. Also, for all of you complaining about price, no one is forcing you to buy the BULLPUP 9 so go ahead and buy what you want and I will not complain because the choice is yours to make. Choice is yours to make sound familiar? It should because as gun owners that is the bottom line of what we want ( our choice to make ). So please stop being petty and get back to the important issues of gun ownership. Thank you. Stay safe. Dave
Guns in space!!!!! Yeah!!!
Wasn’t there a gun in Metro 2033 like this??
It seems the morons got lucky and got a judge who knows even less about firearms than they do. Not giving a fuck where your bullets end up sure sounds like depraved indifference to me.
I live somewhat in the area , they were shooting off a bench at an elevated target . If they had been standing shooting at a target close to the ground then yes the bullets should hit dirt not much past the target , in this case they just sailed on ….
Is it 800 feet or 800 yards. The quote from WROC says 800 feet… not that it matters, stupid is stupid.
I’ve noticed: society tends to underreact before and overreact after a catastrophic event.
An interesting side note about 12 Strong…the battle at the fortress known as Qala-i-Jangi…which occurred in the days after the SF guys had helped liberate Mazar-i-Sharif…was when CIA Agent and former Marine Johnny Michael Spann was killed.
John Walker Lindh was captured during that battle as well.
No wonder all the lefties and the movie critics are panning this movie.
“and arrested three males on gun-related charges in a six-hour span this weekend.” ”
1-5 on all being being Hispanic or black.
Worth the price.
There a ton of “action” movie stars who tote guns around in the movies and openly support disarmament. I have stopped watching movies from the ones I’ve identified.
Shall not be infringed doesn’t really equate to we’ll arrest you for not knowing our unconstitutional nuances. I love liberal states as much as catching crabs. Just makes me squirm in discomfort that we have allowed this to happen
I usually do right wrist, left wrist shoot. Then left knee, right knee and follow up shot to both pinky fingers.
If threat not stopped I then run home and call 912.
🙁
Cops take them off the streets and liberal judges release them.
I have the shockwave in 12 ga. The only thing I’ve hunted with it so far is an armadillo. I was surprised at the pattern it holds on buckshot, very tight. I used 7.5 on the dillo i think it must have eaten some tannerite cause what a mess……. =/- 20 feet.
