“Slippery slope.
2025: Transsexual = Mentally Ill = Prohibited Person.
2029: Trump Supporter = Mentally Ill = Prohibited Person.”
Yes, it is... We might want to be careful what we condone... Because it WILL backfire...
I had a similar discussion yesterday regarding supporting Israel or supporting Ukraine or supporting Country X.
I support America. ‘Allies” are like pet dogs: we love them until they bite us, and we say “I don’t understand…he was such a calm dog.” Every country is in it for themselves. No money, bombs, or soldiers for anyone other than American. Parenthetically, cats are an open book: nobody is surprised when a cat acts like a cat. That’s why the analogy works better with dogs.
But I digress.
The counter to my absolutist position was basically “the horse already left that barn. We have to play their game. So yea, they send banknotes to Iran and hate Israel, we then bomb Iran and support Israel, and hopefully we come out on top.”
A sin is a sin, no matter how much spin or lipstick you put on the sin.
Same here. The 2nd Amendment and the right to KABA is universal. There are lots of creepy people in America. Restricting the 2A rights of “those people” sounds great and gets clicks, until WE become “those people.”

Our people trying to avoid a slippery slope will not cause the gun grabbers to hold back. They won’t care about the rule of law or how nice we were to them when we were in power.
Also, the voters will much more readily accept that the Trans. are nuts than their friendly, gun owning neighbors. The bottom line — if we can’t trust the voters on an issue like this, we’re all dead anyway.
