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:
Your statement is in fact a lie as I proved. Feel free to apologize.
- 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
Come take them from us?
