Pink Pistols has a motto “Armed Gays Don’t Get Bashed”, but what about unarmed gay bashers?
Four teenagers who crashed a birthday party in Queens, N.Y., are suspected of beating a man to death after shouting antigay slurs…Sensing trouble, 18-year-old Anthony Collao, who had recently graduated from high school and who pals say was straight, left the party with a friend. According to a source, he was chased by the gang, pinned against a car, and punched, kicked, and beaten “within an inch of his life” with a pipe.
He died Monday at Jamaica Hospital after two days on life support.
Seems that anti-gun laws can keep you from effectively fighting back against a large group of bigots looking to do you grave harm…but it doesn’t do much to keep them from killing you.
This is the world the Anti-Right activists are crafting for us!
Incidents like this are just one reason I carry. They’re also why I and many other gays are cautious about who we’re out to – being openly out brings the attention of people like this, and you can’t know if strangers will react violently or not.
As the quote goes, those who seek to ban firearms (or even stop the law-abiding from carrying them) want the world to return to a time when the strong got what they wanted by dint of being strong.
Me, I think we crawled out of that particular medieval hellhole a while ago, and I have no desires to return.
