LGBT gun group fires back against Newsom's gun control initiative

http://www.abc10.com/mb/news/local/lgbt-gun-group-fires-back-against-newsom-on-gun-control-initiative/218182022

Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom is fighting with a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender gun group, whose members say Newsom’s gun control initiative would hurt the LGBT community.
The Pink Pistols are a gun group that teaches LGBT members how to defend themselves. Member Nicki Stallard, a transgender woman living in Fresno, recently appeared in an ad from the Coalition for Civil Liberties.
The ad read, “If Gavin Newsom gets this passed, how will transgender woman like me be able to protect ourselves?”
