Our Statement Regarding Biden’s Executive Orders on Guns

While our members are free to believe what they wish, Operation Blazing Sword – Pink Pistols finds gun control to be historically rooted in racism and even today it disproportionately affects those who need armed self-defense the most: members of minority populations, be they racial, gender, sexual, ethnic, or religious minorities.

Furthermore, attaching the words ‘common sense’ to gun bans does not make them any more palatable, and we consider them just as offensive and just as unconstitutional as bans on same-sex marriage. Operation Blazing Sword – Pink Pistols supports gun rights and queer rights, not specific political narratives.

Signed,
Erin Palette
