Senior Justice Department officials are weighing proposals to limit transgender people’s right to possess firearms, according to two officials familiar with the internal discussions.
Waiting for the libertarian braintrust to show up and explain how George Washington and Thomas Jefferson actually wanted mentally unstable people to have AR-15s, and that I'm a "fake conservative" for disagreeing with them.
Yeah, I actually don't want people who regularly talk about killing people like me and my family on the internet to have firearms. Imagine that if you can Rand Paul voters.
I fully support the ban so long as it requires every gun buyer to show the owner of a gun shop their genitals to confirm that they are not transgender in order to purchase a firearm.
This serves as a litmus test for the NRA and for the 2nd Amendment, "from my cold dead fingers," no-tyranny, don't-tread-on-me, militia-movement crowd.
They better be taking to the streets to defend the Constitutional right of law-abiding Americans to bear arms, regardless of whether they are trans.
If they fail to, they are full of crap and it will be on full display.

Everyone already agrees that the mentally ill shouldn't own firearms.
The problem here is the left refusing to admit clearly crazy people are crazy.

Correct. Most people agree mentally ill and unstable people should not be able to legally purchased firearms. Just like someone who is bipolar, has schizophrenia, etc. shouldn't be allowed to buy guns. Trans are in the same category, especially given their history of shooting up locations with innocent children. Id think the left would support this. Guns should only be for responsible, mentally stable people with good intentions. And that is not the majority of the trans community.
Id argue that anyone disagreeing with this common sense restriction just wants to see more catholic kids blown away.
White men of any age are underrepresented in mass shootings.
The most likely profile of a U.S. mass shooter, based on available data, is a male, aged 18–45, often with a background of personal grievance or crisis. If you’re talking about public rampage-style shootings, the demographic most overrepresented is white men.
Key Demographic Patterns of Mass Shooters (U.S.) Gender Overwhelmingly male: About 95–98% of mass shooters are men. Women are extremely rare as perpetrators. Age Most are young to middle-aged adults, often between 18 and 45 years old. School shooters skew younger (teens and early 20s). Workplace shooters tend to be older (30s–50s). Race/Ethnicity Data varies depending on how “mass shooting” is defined (e.g., school shootings, public rampages, gang-related shootings). For high-profile public mass shootings (like schools, malls, concerts), a disproportionate share are committed by white men.

High profile mass shootings (mall and similar) are a tiny fraction of all “mass shootings”…Chicago had 3 drive-bys with 5+ victims last week. I highly doubt any were a white kale with an AR-15
