As is typical in the wake of every mass shooting and/or terror attack, gun sales have soared after the massacre in Orlando.
Although Florida has been the epicenter of the action, the effects of the attack can be felt nationwide. George Horne of Denver, Colorado, owner of a store called The Gun Room, said that “For this time of year I’d say its three to four times what we normally have.”
But as the liberal left cries out for gun control “reform,” the community they claim to be protecting has been heading in a very different direction: They’re packing heat.
Enter: the Pink Pistols.
It’s actually very heartening for a lot of instructors to see: So many serious shooters come from the same demographic, or at least belief system. Here we see an entirely new group of people being welcomed into the self-defense fold.
Firearms instructor Mike Smith of Colorado Springs told KDVR: “I think right now because of what happened, people are looking for answers.”
“You walk into a gun shop and you expect to see people, frankly, who look like me,” he added. “I think we forget we’re a country of all people, not just people who fit that predetermined mold.”
The Pink Pistols have seen a massive swell, too. On Saturday, the Pink Pistols had 1,500 members — on Monday, that had jumped to 3,500 members.
Smith has been helping here, even though he’s not gay. He just believes in what he’s doing, and wants to help.
“I look at it as a disenfranchised minority that needs someone who’s willing to say I’m a resource who’s here and willing to help,” he explained
Welcome to the fold, Pink Pistols. We’re happy to have you.
