Jeff had this earlier today, but it’s a long time coming for some groups. The Justice Department is mulling banning gun ownership for those who identify as transgender. It goes beyond the horrific mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis that occurred on August 27, where two kids were shot and killed, with another 17 injured. Since 2020, 40 percent of mass shooters, or would-be mass shooters, have been identified as transgender or suspected of being one. If those clamoring for government to “do something,” this is a good first step:
A DOJ source told the Daily Wire that “individuals within the DOJ are reviewing ways to ensure that mentally ill individuals suffering from gender dysphoria are unable to obtain firearms while they are unstable and unwell.
A Justice Department spokesman told the Daily Wire that a “range of options” is being considered “to prevent mentally unstable individuals from committing acts of violence, especially at schools.”
Another officials said, “Democrats have called for common sense gun laws for a long time” and that “this seems pretty common sense to me.”
Given how Democrats react to anything Trump does, you know what’s coming: the anti-gun Left is going to sound like National Rifle Association members. They will likely devote endless hours to full-throated defenses of gun ownership and Second Amendment rights. The president is setting the stage for the Democrats to cannibalize their anti-gun positions, sacrificing generations of activism for transgender gun rights. The Left was ALWAYS wrong about gun rights; we just had to wait a long time to find an issue where the opposition could self-implode on this one, and they will.

Only after due process. And that means a jury.
Yup, just like it states in the 2nd amendment. Right next to the part about needing a permit. 🙄
Oh boy...Democrats might be forced to defend gun rights or admit transgenderism is a psychiatric condition.
What to do?
Aren’t there already laws on the books that ban mutant malcontent moonbat retards from owning guns?
The old 80-20 trap for the Dramacrats.
So when the next Trans shoots up a school, we can point to it and say, “They shouldn’t have been able to have a gun.”
Yup. That’s gonna help.
People are not addressing the root causes of this problem. Those are the basically, the way we treat each other and the pressures to “perform” put on kids to be accepted. But no one wants to blame the schools, or the parents.
Instead, they want to blame the tool.
There are more guns in the country than there are people. Guns are not going away. We need to come up with different answers.
Trump reveals the fork attack in 3D chess. He’s hitting both gun control and transgenderism simultaneously and the left can save one at most. BUT unlike chess, the pawns of the side tossed to the Orangemanbad will be sullen and resentful. Hopefully we have a whispering campaign ready to increase that resentment.
I doubt they have any intention of passing it.
It just forces the Lefties into another 80/20 dilemma.
Trump is flooding the zone, forcing them to play wack-a-mole at every opportunity.
Trump is the master of forcing his opponent to choose between 2 bad choices.
Any of these blue states that do require a permit could be forced to exclude trannies from get a gun permit if Trump did EO.
If Trump were to issue an EO, it would be interesting to see who would challenge it.
But the problem with making this a requirement opens the door to any mental illness as a reason deny to gun ownership.
Nope, means a judicial review, a judge
At a minimum it’s at least a laser pointer to confuse the cat routine. Either way it’s genius.
We’re just gonna disagree on that one.
Trump is going to let the left make the argument that will destroy red flag laws, using trannies as the tool.
Yep, Trump is going to 80/20 them into implosion.
Agreed. But since Trump is potentially doing the gun banning it is now a central plank of conservatism according to the idolaters.
They’d settle for “assault weapons.” For a while.
I hope you’re right about that. It would be brilliant and it would be beautiful.
such idiotic and prejudicial emails and public pronouncements almost certainly legally invalidate any actions or orders they may issue next
we are dealing with some people who are both enemies of the US Constitution and our Bill of Rights as citizens,
and frankly
stupid as a MooseTurd
I doubt they have any intention of passing it.
It just forces the Lefties into another 80/20 dilemma.
