How can they ban transgender people from something if transgender people don't officially exist?

A republican shoots up a school and nobody sees any issue with Republican ideology, but the second a trans person does we've gotta take away the guns, right?

Lefties and trans folk, arm up. If you haven't bought your piece yet, start the application process. Once you have it, it becomes almost impossible for them to take it away by force.

Yep.. well 2nd amendment folks are hypocrites apparently. Shocker.

"First they came for the transgenders' guns, but I didn't speak up because I'm not transgender..."

Dems be like: "I allow it"

Remember: "Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary." -Karl Marx

Armed Minorities are harder to oppress.

What part if "shall not be infringed" do these fuckers not understand?

Trans people are statistically underrepresented among mass shooters. If we are targeting high risk demographics we should start with white men.

In case anyone's in any doubt about whether there's any factual basis for this:

Mass shooters are not disproportionately transgender, contrary to claims

This CNN article states it well:

Such a move would represent a dramatic escalation of the Trump administration’s fight against the rights of transgender Americans.

That's it. This is just the fascists finding another way to victimize trans people, because they enjoy doing that and it keeps the morons' attention diverted from real problems.

And this bit is also good in the article (warning: disgusting quotes from Trump admin people):

The goal of the potential ban, according to the Justice official, is “to ensure that mentally ill individuals suffering from gender dysphoria are unable to obtain firearms while they are unstable and unwell.”

Because gender dysphoria is included in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, also called the DSM, it is diagnosed as a mental disorder. (The DSM is the handbook used by health care professionals as the authoritative guide in diagnosing mental disorders.)

But the gender incongruence – having a gender identity that’s not the one assigned at birth – isn’t what makes gender dysphoria a mental disorder. Having clinically significant dysphoria around the incongruence is what makes it a disorder.

That's surprisingly nuanced and well informed for an article on a mainstream news site.

welp, that tears it. time to buy my first gun, while I still can. I'm not a big fan of guns but fuck if I'm going to let myself and my community be disarmed by the fascists. I'm not going quietly if they send us to the camps.

Time to buy lots of guns and ammo everyone

Trans folks, get your guns while you can. They might be the difference between freedom or going to RFK's "wellness" farms. As an autistic who will someday be targeted, I intend to stand on the line of battle with you.

Gun restrictions you say? 🤔 Tell me again how the left-wingers came for your guns.

It makes sense if you don't think about it. Which apparently the DOJ never did.
It's all about creating enemies the ignorant bigots can stand together against.
USA is a disgusting society.

If this is allowed to happen. This will just be the start.

This is going to result in either the left arming themselves in a way that will give them political power comparable to the right.

Or the courts will set a legal precedent for gun control regulations.

While I'm disgusted by the fact that it's a targeted act of persecution, this could be the Trump DOJ setting up a long-term win for the left.

Where is the NRA? First trans then unpardoned felons, the homeless, the unemployed poor people. The list goes on. Once in place, adding another group will not be questioned.

Ahah, the US right finally found someone that they don't want armed to the teeth.

Sounds like a good way to convince transgender people to buy guns

good luck with appeasing that extremely important anti 2A anti trans demographic. some say it's the biggest voting block in the world

I hate my life and I hate this world so much, yes this shithole of a country is one of the worst but others are rapidly sliding to this too. Why couldn’t I have just been born a women and never had to deal with all of this

It's ok, I have 2

So they ARE for gun control?

How would this stop them? Couldn't they just use the ~~same gun show/online loopholes~~ (the many way ways to acquire a gun in America)everyone else does?

EDIT: changed the phrasing to more accurately reflect the reality to satisfy people's dependence on nitpicking details at the cost of understanding the actual point.
