Hate Crimes: Death or Defense!

by D. Boyer
Hate Crimes: Death or Defense!
1 out of every 10 transgender men or women will be killed this year.
Copy the code below to embed this movie into a web page:
Recently a young TG woman was killed in Syracuse New York, and she was a sitting in a car and some man walked up with a rifle and shot her because he thought she was Gay. Teisha Green was killed by a .22 caliber rifle. Running and physically fighting will not stop a bullet, but another bullet can stop the person.
Its about time TG folks learn to defend themselves and fight back.
We cannot rely on police to protect us in the moment. Self Defense is the only way, and handguns are a tool for self defense. Congress needs to bow down to the will of the people and make it easier for all law abiding citizens to obtain hand guns legally in every State in this Union. Adding provisions in the Mathew Sheppard Hate Crime Bill can make that possible.
It is now much easier to prove self-defense in court than to risk death by haters.
The following video was made by a member of the Pink Pistols, and she is encouraging people to contact Congress or the Prez and tell them we want it easier to obtain handguns for protection.

Please tell people about this video and lets take matters into our own hands and make this a safer place.
