According to a report by the Philadelphia Inquirer, LGBTQ organizations and other progressive voters are buying guns for self-defense as they prepare for Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The Liberal Gun Club has seen a significant increase in training requests, with many coming from the LGBTQ community.
Additionally, organizations like the Socialist Rifle Association and Pink Pistols are experiencing a rise in memberships.
One member expressed that the motivation behind these purchases is rooted in self-defense and fear rather than aggression.
Furthermore, there are calls within the LGBTQ community to get married before potential changes to marriage rights that could arise under a Trump administration.
