I've offered to teach basic firearms skills to the LGBT crowd via Operation Blazing Sword since its inception.
My fifth and sixth pupils have made contact.
I have found that doing this has been divisive with some people, particularly since there's a faction of people where being communist agitators is their real motive and LGBT is a convenient cover to deflect criticism of their activities.
The, typical, idiots on the pro-gun side go for the bait and attack the LGBT shell and tend to neglect condemning the commie shit.
I have to admit, these groups are playing the pro-gun idiots brilliantly.
They're getting screenshots of them being intolerant bigots, when they really aren't... but they got pissed off and rose to the bait.
The internet is forever.
I am also an Operation Blazing Sword volunteer. I have only taught one person, but this is such a great outreach. Everyone should be able to defend themselves against those who might choose to cause them harm. And even if the person ultimately chooses to not carry a gun, they at least need to be educated on the safe use of firearms, just in case.
ReplyDeleteIt is something that actually should be taught in high school, simple safe use of firearms, including the 4 basic rules of gun safety. That is not something that should be a cause for anti gun people to be against. They have no problem making laws about safe storage of guns, at least here in my state of Michigan. Everyone needs to understand that a gun is simply a tool, no different than a power saw or something similar. And knowledge is never a bad thing.
Thanks for being a volunteer of OBS. It is a good thing that you are involved with, and shows your character.
