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 |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
