Pink Pistols is a unique political and social organization of sorts which supports both gay rights and gun rights, and is principly made up of gun owning homosexuals, though neither condition is mandatory for membership. This is unusual in that, in general, firearm owners and gays tend to have diametrically opposed political outlooks, though there is nothing within either of the two single issues that is mutually exclusive in theory. The Pink Pistols have chapters in many US cities and their activities involve firing range visits and political activism. Additionally, the group occaisonally produces report cards on politicians based on their stand on issues of interest to members. Not surprisingly, it is hard to find a main stream candidate who is approved by persons holding this peculiar combination of interests.

Some critics have accused Pink Pistols of being far more interested in the gun side of their platform, with sexuality only an afterthought to get attention for what is essentially just an atypical libertarian group.
