Thoughts From The Peacock Angel

Because the douchey kind of guy who does a mass shooting is the kind of guy who doesn’t want to carry around a barbie pink gun, or one with hello kitty on it.  All guns have to be regulation colors, unless they’re collectable antiques, in which case you have to have a special permit.

This way, the crazies who are stock piling weapons for the day the socialist revolution they irrationally fear comes to pass won’t be able to worry about the government taking their guns away, they might whine about not being allowed camouflage, but seriously.

If you’re using it for hunting, most animals don’t see colour and won’t be disturbed, with the added benefit that colors like hot pink are visible from a distance and will help  prevent hunting accidents where one human shoots another having mistaken them for an animal.

It would discourage guys who are trying to compensate for their perceived emasculation from trying stuff.

While I would ideally like to strengthen licensing laws (it should not be easier to get a gun than it is a car), I do think this is a measure that everyone can agree on, even the adamantly pro-gun lobby.

Note, this is humor piece and not to be taken as a serious representation of my opinions.  I’m actually strongly in favor of stricter gun control laws (though not the illegalization of firearms in general) as well, I mean this in an LGBTQ positive way, and although I recognize the impracticality of actually issuing all LGBTQ people firearms, and the immorality of using intimidation to force people to be tolerant… it does sound tempting doesn’t it?:

Here’s the thing, as a liberal, I’m well aware that conservatives and even moderates think we’re wimpy, soft on crime, soft on terrorism, and generally whimpering bleeding hearts.  So, here’s my suggestion for a new liberal initiative: Arm The Gays.  Every out LGBTQ person over the age of 18 and without a record of violent crime should be issued a firearm, and allowed to generally use it to intimidate people into better behavior.  This effort should also be highly publicized.  It would have manifold benefits, including but not limited to:

1. Reducing violence against LGBTQ people because people will finally be scared of us.
2. Making the democrats look tough.
3. Who are you calling a nancy boy now, asshole?
4. An end to the fanny pack.
5. FTMs and butches will now be packing while packing, and that’s just delightful.
6. People will think a lot harder about using “gay” as a pejorative.
7. A vast decrease in straight men whistling at lesbian couples.
8. Gay college students won’t have to worry about being bullied anymore.
9. “Defense of marriage” won’t stand up to a good offense.
10. Trans people will ALWAYS be referred to by the correct pronoun.
11. Ze, hir, ey, em, and all other third gender pronouns will finally come into common use.

So, yes, we should arm the gays.
