There is a growing movement to somehow associate gun rights with hatred of the LGBTQ Community. The leader of the new group Justin Hayes stated, “The NRA is in trouble. They kicked the glitter hornet’s nest, baby”. While I’m not sure exactly what imagined wrong the NRA is guilty of it appears Mr. Hayes motivation is real. He is coordinating with the Brady Campaign and the Everytown movement for a march on Washington and associated rallies around the country on August 13. Along with traditional gun control groups they are also soliciting the support of traditional LGBTQ rights groups. The group has four main goals as stated by Mr. Hayes, “Equal human rights for the LGBTQ community, an assault rifle ban, a national registry of gun owners and a mandatory fourteen-to-thirty day waiting period between purchasing and receiving a gun”.
There are a number of things wrong with the statements associating gun rights with haltered. Also, I fail to see how any of their goals would have any real impact on violence committed by terrorist, criminals and the mental ill. However, with social media and the 140 character message no one seems to need much real information to get behind an issue. Also, the strategy of accusing your opponent of hatred has worked well in the past.
So, what do you think? Is this just one group within the greater LGBTQ community or is this community so united that many will feel duty bound to support this issue regardless of their personal feelings.
