He had Ivan Stang on as a guest.
For that alone he's cool.
That's why I love Clyde.
Between "Ground Zero", "CoastToCoastAM", and "A View from Space" there's no conspiracy theory I'm not up to date on.

*accepts shovel* I do not think the gay community will respond to a hate crime by running out and arming. I think they'll demand that hate crime enablers like the sweethearts on the right stop contributing to the environment in which LGBTI members are demonized for crass political ends.

Don't apply "community" standards to individual actors. It would take a very small percentage of LGBT fearing for their safety to cause a significant uptick in gun sales in certain cities. One of them posted a 2nd amendment ramble on FB that has been showing up on my newsfeed today.
Also, it turned out the nutjob wasn't actually a right winger, he was himself a self-loathing gay person that had all kinds of issues and went completely off the rails with all the pretend Muslim extremism jihad nonsense.
Also, he didn't use an AR-15. (He did use something that all sensible people would classify, along with the AR-15, as an assault rifle, but the name of it wasn't quite as headline-friendly so it was willfully misreported by everyone.)

You're looking at the wrong crowd and assigning the wrong motives, assuming the news station isn't just pulling this out of their collective arses (which could go either way). When events such as Orlando occur, there are people who worry that it will be tougher to buy a gun going forward, adding to their existing collection, so they go out to purchase another one or twelve just in case. It's not people who are scared for their safety running out and purchasing mass amounts of guns, it's existing gun owners with a heavy streak of paranoia about possibly not being able to ever purchase another gun in the future. You know, the Col. FlaggDude sorts.

Actually I am usually the one saying things like this. You are right. I will sit for 2 minutes of sociological shame.

Yeah, but the article makes it seem as though TEH GAYZ are now down with TEH GUNZ. That was what I was saying I'd guess, with absolutely no evidence, is a load of manure.

I'm too politically correct to say anything about guns and wrist strength, but I'm immature enough that it's difficult.

Nationwide membership of The Pink Pistols being up 2000 nationally may be a surge for that group, but it's hardly a giant increase in overall ownership. A country of ~330M people, between 2-10% are LGBT, depending upon whose numbers you use. That means we have between 6.6M-33M LGBT citizens out there, and Pink Pistols has a membership total of 3500. And increase of 2000 nationwide averages out to 40 new members per state, likely more concentrated in the southeastern US through to Arizona or Nevada.
The real surge in purchases occur by the group of people least likely to need them as they're not often found at the locations targeted by these shooters, save for their children who attend public schools.

FTFY.
And can we stop referring to someone being polite as being politically correct?
Saying someone used a "poor behavior choice" instead of "being a brat" is political correctness.
Not using a slur or stereotype isn't being politically correct. It's simply being civil towards a fellow human being.

That's right.
Being polite and being politically correct are two completely different things.

Agree. Being civil, polite and nasty all in the same sentence is a skill that we have lost. There has to be a middle ground between namby-pamby PC and abominably rude and obnoxious. Civil/polite is a good description.
