Gun club membership among the LGBT community has skyrocketed since the massacre at the Orlando gay nightclub that killed 49 people earlier this month, USA Today reports. Pink Pistols, a gun club for the LGBT community, has reported that additional chapters nationwide have opened up and that its Facebook membership has increased from some 1,500 before the shooting to almost 7,000. |

While it's tragic so many lives were lost in the Orlando terror attack, it seems to have woke up several members of the LGBT community that they are their own most reliable source of personal security.
Having the cops wait for 3 hours before coming up with a firing solution underscores that reality.

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
