DOJ looking for ways to ban trans people from owning guns

[Old Rocks]

The DOJ is considering ways to ban trans people from owning guns. Given that the most mass murders are done by right wing nuts, they are looking at the wrong people.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/04/politics/transgender-firearms-justice-department-second-amendment

In 2022, all extremist-related murders in the U.S. were linked to right-wing extremists, with a significant number of these being mass shootings.

Key Findings​

1. Extremism-Related Murders: According to a report from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), all 25 extremism-related murders in the U.S. in 2022 were linked to right-wing extremists. This included two major mass shooting incidents: the Buffalo supermarket shooting and the Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs.

2. Mass Shootings and Right-Wing Extremism: The report highlights that right-wing extremists committed every ideologically driven mass killing identified in the U.S. in 2022. This trend indicates an unusually high proportion of mass shootings perpetrated by individuals with ties to white supremacist ideologies.
   
   2
3. Long-Term Trends: Over the past decade, the number of mass killings linked to extremism has significantly increased. The ADL noted that the number of extremist mass killings in the U.S. has tripled compared to previous decades, with a notable spike in incidents attributed to right-wing extremism.

Trans are mental defectives, that should preclude them from legally owing firearms.

Now we just need to get "mental health professions" on board with that notion.

Well, the Left is all about more laws on gun control, so I'm sure they will be 100% behind this!!

Going to have to go with no on that one Bob.

Next, they can take guns away from anyone with TDS and a slopped roof I guess.

Basically, take all guns away from anyone who thinks Trump is Hitler and the world needs saved from him.

Mentally ill people can’t get firearms already

 

[whitehall]

Among other drugs, trans people often rely on mood altering prescription drugs that cause thoughts of suicide (and murder?).

Trans are mental defectives, that should preclude them from legally owing firearms.

Seems like a real problem. After reading this I am 100% convinced straight men should NEVER EVER have access to guns.

According to the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), over the past decade there have been around 4,400 mass shootings in the U.S. (defined as incidents where four or more people were shot, excluding the perpetrator). Of those, fewer than 10 known suspects were transgender, representing just about 0.11% of cases. Link

• The U.S. Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center studied 173 targeted public attacks between 2016 and 2020. Only three attackers (about 2%) were transgender; the vast majority—96%—were male. Link
• Reporting from The Trace notes that out of more than 5,300 mass shootings over the last decade, only four were carried out by individuals known to identify as trans or nonbinary—a fraction so small it doesn’t support any notion of a trend. Link

Some high-profile cases are repeatedly brought up:

• Nashville (2023 Covenant School shooting): Perpetrator Aiden (Audrey) Hale was a trans man.
• Denver (STEM School Highlands Ranch, 2019): One of the two shooters, Alec McKinney, was a trans boy.
• Colorado Springs (Club Q, 2022): The shooter was identified as nonbinary, but experts have questioned the credibility of that claim. Link
• Other claims—like a “rise” in transgender shooters or specific charts showing otherwise—have been repeatedly debunked by AP Link

Your statement is in fact a lie as I proved. Feel free to apologize.

At some point mental health hospitals may be needed. However, they must be on the up and up. other nations use them for ridding themselves of political opponents or those with a different view. progs are more inclined to put non Progs in these facilities.

How about we blame the criminals and not just the people we dont like? That vast majority of criminal shooters are straight me. By far.

Logistically, I don't see how it would work. There is no uber secret Trans database that I am aware of, and HIPAA is a thing.

Basically, take all guns away from anyone who thinks Trump is Hitler and the world needs saved from him.

Lets start of with medical reasons, like powerful medications and psychological problems.

I'd even include everyone who sees a mental health professional.

Drs. will be required to notify the FBI and local law enforcement to "red flag" person-X. Period.
The FBI so they can't buy guns.
Law enforcement to collect and store their guns.

See above. The Federal law would have to be changed. Open that Pandora's Box at your own doom.

We should add that to the list of questions when people try to buy a gun. "Are you a right-wing extremist?" Anyone answering yes will be denied.

Seems like a real problem. After reading this I am 100% convinced straight men should NEVER EVER have access to guns.

I'll be sure to put down that I'm trans on the form the next time I want to buy a gun.

Trump ended rule to block mentally ill from getting guns

The action was one of his earliest as president.

Trump ended rule to block mentally ill from getting guns​

So we need a new law.

 

[citygator]

Lets start of with medical reasons, like powerful medications and psychological problems.

I'd even include everyone who sees a mental health professional.

Id include anyone who questions vaccine efficacy or the 2020 election results. Clearly they are poor decision makers.
