[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This group filed amicus briefs in Heller and McDonald:

They have nothing to do with the NRA.[/quote]

They say on the website that they work with the NRA.  And they also said they collaborated with the NRA in writing their amicus brief in Heller.[/quote]

So are you homophobic?  Do you oppose the LGBT community protecting itself from gay-bashing?[/quote]

I am not homophobic, nor do I propose the complete elimination of gun rights.

The Pink Pistols brief says that because homosexuals at the time could not serve openly in the military, they could be denied gun rights if "well regulated militia" actually meant "well regulated militia".

I find this point preposterous, since there was no scenario in which gun ownership would be contingent on military service, and because obviously the gay rights issue at the core of the argument was the ability to openly serve.

So the Pink Pistols are every bit as hyperbolic and irrational as the NRA.  And just like criticism of Israeli policies does not make me an anti-Semite, criticism of a group of gay people does not make me homophobic.[/quote]
