Gun rights are the big trans news right now, but just because you have the right to own a gun, doesn't mean you ought to.
Everyone gets to decide for themselves about gun ownership writes Veronica Esposito, but statistics show you're more likely to use it to hurt yourself than for protection.
You are loved. You are valued. Most importantly, you are part of a community that will always strive to keep you safe.
We have community members who can offer safe firearms training and mental health support. If you are looking to get connected to support in either of these areas, reach out to us at info@raqc.gay.
2/x We always encourage safe firearm handling with a focus on mental health. It is a big responsibility having a firearm in the home, especially given the mental health challenges often faced by the LGBTQIA+ community. Please take a moment to think this decision through.
1/x In the wake of current events, we at RAQC know that many members of the local queer community may be thinking about or actively purchasing a firearm.
