LGBTQ liberals arm themselves due to fear of 'concentration camps'

Amid fears of oppression under a potential second Trump administration, many gay and transgender liberals are acquiring firearms. Groups like the Liberal Gun Club and the Pink Pistols report a surge in interest from the LGBTQ community for training. The Liberal Gun Club noted a sharp increase in requests for firearms training, with many coming from LGBTQ individuals.

A 24-year-old transgender woman expressed, “Minorities that are armed are more difficult to legally oppress.” Activists share the sentiment that owning guns is primarily about self-defense. Sociologist David Yamane highlighted the cultural shift in gun ownership among minorities since 2020.
