11. The Pink Pistols

"Well, actually, it pretends to be about LGBT stuff, but it's really just a wing of the Libertarian Party in bed with the NRA. "

Uh, no.

I'm speaking as Krikket (a.k.a. Doug Krick, Founder of the Pink Pistols). When I set up the group, I was hoping it would grow into something that would point people to the Libertarian Party, as I was a candidate for office at the time. But I kept the group separate from politics. The only issues it supports are Gun Rights and Queer Rights. The only issue it acts on are Gun Rights.

When the Pink Pistols were formed only 29 of the 50 states had concealed carry. Now 49 out of 50 do. I'm not going to claim that the Pink Pistols were responsible for that, but I like to think we've done our part in making it happen.

We work with the NRA. We are not "in bed with the NRA". I've told the legislative branch of the NRA (NRA-ILA) that they are far to willing to compromise on the rights of gun owners. Major gun-control bills were written with the support of the NRA (including the gun control ban of 1968)! The Pink Pistols have said it's time to stop supporting the giving away our rights as pieces of salami, until none are left, and get those rights back!
