A Michigan Libertarian running in Michigan's U.S. Senate race is hoping to raise at least $10,000 to provide shotguns and firearms training for homeless people in the metro Detroit area.

Brian Ellison, who has filed to run as a Libertarian against sitting Democratic U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, announced a plan to "Arm the Homeless" last week. The project, if funded, would provide shotguns to members of the homeless community who qualify for gun ownership and provide them with training at a gun range.

Ellison said he started the effort after noticing a "big void" in offers to help the homeless defend themselves. He said he wanted to focus on the homeless population because they "are probably the most ostracized, victimized oppressed class of people."

"You can really see how the public perceives the homeless as less than human - it's a shame," he said. "Homeless people are people too, and they have a right to defend themselves."

Should he be more focused on the root problem here, homelessness?

We have to prioritize. An Armed society is a polite society, and more guns gives us less crime. Win-win

We can work on homelessness later, after Lock Her Up and defeat the liberals

I'd suggest giving out FREE!!! hand grenades to the homeless.

Stupid, they’ll just sell firearms and use that money for drugs.
