The Pink Pistols is an LGBTQ gun rights organization in the United States and Canada. Their motto is “Pick on someone your own caliber”.[1]
I expect that this is kind of up their alley, too.
That motto is pretty badass honestly
The know MAGA is all about the slippery slope, and if they make it illegal for one group, it will be illegal for almost everybody within five years.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone. The NRA (or its political arm) is a lobbying group for the gun industry. Banning any group from buying guns hurts the gun industry.
They didn’t complain, or at least loud enough for me to hear, when he banned some gun accessories on his last term. Was it bump stocks or something?
None of his base did, despite losing their shit about Obama and Joe “going to do it”, even though they didn’t
Especially a group of people who suddenly realize they’re in danger and are scooping up guns in large numbers right now.
Saw tons of comments the last couple days about “Where’s the NRA to defend trans gun owners huh??!?”
Well here’s your answer - they said 2nd Amendment rights are for everyone and due process matters. Sometimes being cynical is just hurting your perspective.
Yah, there’s a large difference between cynicism and realism.
They’re defending their market, not the rights of trans Americans. If they actually cared about freedom and the constitution they would be uniting every gun owner to march on Washington and demand a president who follows the constitution, you know, the whole THING the NRA was supposed to represent.
Eh if all Trans people where black the NRA would have a different tune.
I’m OK with the NRA not being hypocritical this time. Doesn’t mean anyone should expect anything from them.
If your grandma had wheels she could be a Go-Bot, so what?
Sure, but they’re not defending trans people, they defending guns.
Well they arent a trans lobbying group. They’re a gun ownership and gun rights lobbying group.
Well obviously, the only thing the NRA has ever cared about is selling guns. They may couch it it reasons like freedom or safety but the real reason has always just been profits.

Also ironically the gun laws that Republicans poke fun at in California are thanks to Reagan.
Yes that’s the theory of why capitalism good by liberals
Ive said for years, the moment the GOP gets enough power they will be alllll for gun control.
Ah, but this isn’t arbitrary!
Will not support is not the same thing as oppose. They also eventually issued a statement disapproving of the killing of Philando Castile, but they didn’t do much else.
Many trans people are white.
I remember the NRA’s response to the murder of Philando Castile.
First shot across the bow at taking guns away from Trump/MAGA dissenters and political opponents. They start with a group they don’t think will incite too many, particularly the generally pro-2A Americans. Next it’ll be gays, then anyone with any connection to antifa, then just Democrats in general.
My sister is looking at rifles now to complement her carry pistol and my friend’s wife has OK’d him getting a handgun for their home from this news.
They banned guns when the black Panthers had them.
The NRA did not do that. California did that.
The NRA fully supported the bill
Which changes nothing. The NRA didnt do that nor were they particularly powerful in the 1970s.
Wait, did the NRA just do something that wasn’t shitty for once? Broken clocks, amr?

How long till they start legally labeling all trans people as “mentally deficient” or declare them all no longer citizens just to bar them from having guns?
You’re one of the largest and most powerful lobbying groups in the country. Let’s see them actually put that lobbying to work. Then I’ll believe they’re actually against this.
They were, recent events have changed this.
