The Department of Justice is reviewing possible steps to restrict firearms access for individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria, officials familiar with internal discussions told Newsmax exclusively Thursday.
The gender dysphoria condition, recognized in medical literature, describes a deep conflict between a person's birth sex and their gender identity.
DOJ officials say a recent series of shootings involving individuals reportedly struggling with gender identity has prompted the department to examine whether new safeguards are needed.
A DOJ source told Newsmax that Democrats have long pressed for "common sense" gun control, adding: "This seems pretty common sense to me."
According to the source, multiple internal meetings have been held on potential approaches, including whether to bar transgender individuals from purchasing or owning firearms while deemed "unstable and unwell."
Officials are considering whether such restrictions could be implemented through executive action, though no final decision has been reached.
"I'm not going to tell the Minnesota lawmakers or the governor exactly how they should respond to this tragedy," Vice President JD Vance said during his Wednesday visit to mourn the children victims, 8 and 10, of the Minneapolis transgender mass shooter.

Crazy Trannys should not be out of a cage let alone have possession of a firearm, and we could extend this to Marxists, Communists, "Activists", Nazis, and eventually Democrats!
Put them all in “gated communities” where they can rape each other, instead of our kids.
Should be banned...they are about as sick and dangerous as a human can be.
Finally! A gun control approach I can support.
Democrats are going to read the Constitution and announce that the right to keep and bear arms cannot be infringed.
Another stupid label that has no scientific basis. Gender disporia. It’s amazing how easily people buy the bilge that shrinks sell.
This is a brilliant idea! The Left will get twisted up by the competing ideas. Do they oppose a gun control measure, or do they oppose the trans lobby?
Aren’t the mentally ill people already barred from firearm purchases?
Well...they’ll certainly be easier to identify than other crazies!
Very bad from a 2A standpoint.
Will trannies self-identify when attempting to purchase a firearm? {{{crickets}}}
The unintended consequence would be fewer seeking legitimate treatment for fear of losing gun rights.
IOW, more guns in the hands of the undiagnosed and untreated.
“officials familiar with” = more anonymous rumors masquerading as “news” = i quit reading after that ..
They will if you use the wrong pronoun! An absolute hissy fit!
Yes, but they redefined "gender dysphoria" to no longer qualify as a mental illness.
So Newsmax is lying?
Thanks, Rktman!
At this point, the nutjob psychiatrists have foreclosed any legitimate treatment for this.
Careful, friend. IF/when these groups you name get back the power they cravenly lust after, they'll apply the same to us. Red flag laws can be extremely dangerous. They lend themselves to arbitrary and politically motivated enforcement.
A person who is confused about what sex it is has some kind of mental disorder, and should be remanded to some form of institutional observation to ensure it is not a danger to itself or anyone else. We MUST STOP the insanity of "gender affirming" care. Medicating and mutilating these individuals in the name of "affirming" their delusions is a recipe for disaster.
This path should be thrown in the gun-banners face every single time. Also, the possibility of banning those on certain kinds of psychiatric meds.
Each group obviously have mental health issues
