David - would you say the same thing to gay people who express their affection for one another in public?
You fly the gay banner openly, why the double standard? It's okay to be open about ones sexuallity, but not about ones passion for constituionally protected rights? Seems a bit hypocritical to me.
Not attacking you, just curious how you rationallize those opposing views?
I don't need to rationalize anything, I'm talking about the right to bear arms.
Understand LGBT rights are already severely limited or non-existant, much more than the right to bear arms. SCOTUS stated the second amendment is subject to reasonable restrictions, meaning if/when people cause concern then they may affect us all if/when government decides to step in an pass gun control legislation.
Far as other civil rights like same sex marriage goes, there's more on the topic state to state besides the legality and recognition of a marriage. Some states have passed laws which will need to be overturned which prevents adopting children, including orphans, in to a home with parents of the same sex. There's also restrictions hospital visitation rights, benefits, taxes, you name it. These are rights currently not recognized by many states which will need court action to be overturned.
On a side note: Many LGBT distance themselves from flamers (aka gay people who dress funny) and even the gay pride parades just as firearms owners distance themselves from the fringe elements of the firearms community.
