DOJ looking for ways to ban trans people from owning guns

[TheProgressivePatriot]

They are mentally ill.

Bigots are mentally ill

 

[Missourian]

...pounced on the Minnesota tragedy...

Republicans pounced on a tragedy?

Like Democrats do every other time there is a shooting?

"We HAVE to DO something!!!!"


Until the shooter is transgender.

Then it's "Nothing to see here folks, move along, move along...bury that manifesto, scrub the social media...move along..."

 

[Polishprince]

More bigotry, ignorance, and hate from Trump – the wrongheaded belief that transgender Americans are ‘mentally ill.’

Trannies are mentally ill.

The high number of shootings by this tiny group shows there is a problem.

I think its the hormone treatments that can really **** with their minds.

Maybe outlawing hormone treatments for She-Males might be a better idea?

Bigots are mentally ill

Negatory. Not even a good try.

Bigotry is actually a tried and true beneficial evolutionary strategy.


"On one hand, some argue that in-group favoritism, a precursor to bigotry, could have provided evolutionary benefits. Early humans lived in small, tight-knit groups where trust and cooperation were critical for survival. Preferring those who share similar traits—appearance, language, or behavior—might have fostered group cohesion, making it easier to defend against outsiders or share resources. This "tribal instinct" could enhance group survival in harsh, resource-scarce environments, indirectly boosting individual fitness. Studies on kin selection and reciprocal altruism, like those based on Hamilton’s rule (1964), suggest that favoring genetically or socially similar individuals can improve group survival, even if it sometimes manifests as exclusionary behavior."

From an evolutionary standpoint, bigotry is normal.

An uncomfortable truth.

Trust the science!

‘The Department of Justice is reportedly considering a proposal to restrict transgender Americans from possessing firearms, marking a dramatic reversal of the Trump administration’s pledges to preserve Second Amendment rights while escalating the president’s attacks against trans Americans.
[…]
Trans people are not linked to higher rates of violence, and the overwhelming majority of mass attacks are committed by cisgender men. Trans people are also more than four times likely to be victims of violent crimes, including rape and sexual assault.

Yet Trump’s allies and right-wing media figures who have spent years seeking to remove trans people from public life have pounced on the Minnesota tragedy to build on political momentum targeting LGBT+ Americans.”

another conspiracy theory?

I sometimes think Trump deliberately picks issues that will expose the hypocrisy of both parties. Here, for example, he has Republicans cheering for gun control, and Democrats standing up for the second amendment.

And no one even blinks.

" Religious Reich Calls For Incarceration And Public Execution Of Transgender To Prevent Suicide "

* Demeaning And Dismissive For Misfortunes Of Intersex *

People with the mental condition called Gender Dysphoria have shockingly high rates of suicide, regardless of "gender affirming" treatments.

This is a move to protect them from suicide by gun, and suicide by mass violence.

Which proportion of gender dysphoria suicides occur by self inflicted gun shot ?

Do military veterans fit the narrative for keeping guns away from them given their shockingly high rates of suicide ?

If the puritanical emphasize rigorous roles with consternation that intersex are unable to conform , could ignorance and intolerance of society be a more significant cause of the suicides than availability of guns ?

I don't know about anyone else, but I am 100% trolling the left.

Perhaps they MIGHT learn a lesson with the shoe now being on the other foot.

I have no interest in banning transgender folks from owning guns. Just like a handful of mass shooters shouldn't be used a wedge to paint all gun owners, a couple of bad actors who happen to be transgender shouldn't be used to portray all trans folks as evil murderers.

It's just humorous to hoist the left by their own petards.

In reality, I oppose this 100%.

Well, OK. Some MAGA people fall back on this "just trolling" excuse, but many of these "troll" initiatives being implemented in policy, and I see precious little opposition from Republicans.Those who see how fucked up it is, just bite their lips and look the other way. That's how we lose our freedom, our country.

IMO, this is a giant troll just to put the left on the other side of the issue. It gives them an opportunity to make OUR arguments on their behalf.

Just like "Tariffs are taxes that are passed on to the customer" FINALLY forced the leftist to admit corporate taxes are ALSO passed on to the customer.

They've fought this tooth and nail for as long as I've been on this message board.

Being the gander instead of the goose on a Second Amendment issue will be good for them in the long run. These are the same people who supported Obama stripping older Americans of their Second Amendment rights just a few short years ago, based on a very similar argument as this one.

Democrats are always whining for "Gun Control", now they're whining against it.

Maybe. Sadly, that's like three-fourths of our politics. Trolling and fear-mongering. I just radicalizes people and has us thrashing back and forth on useless culture war shit.

How low will we go?

Just like "Tariffs are taxes that are passed on to the customer" FINALLY forced the leftist to admit corporate taxes are ALSO passed on to the customer.

Do you think that works? Do you think Dems will think twice when they want to impose tariffs for their pet cause? Do you think this issue has MAGA folks thinking, "I guess maybe Dems were right, we should give up some of our gun rights for safety sake" ?

Do you not own a mirror?

I thought Democrats wanted gun control? No?

Trump played you. Now he has you fighting for the 2nd amendment and you don’t even know it. Brilliant. LOL

 

[dblack]

I thought Democrats wanted gun control? No?

And I thought Republicans wanted to defend the Second Amendment.

Do you guys ever get whiplash flopping around like that?

It appears Trump has you fighting for the 2nd amendment as well. LOL

I've always fought for the Second Amendment. I'm not a Democrat.

Now, what's your excuse? Why have you given up?

 

[MarcATL]

Preventing a marginalized minority of American citizens from being able to defend themselves.

Fascism 101 folks.

Enjoy it.

Bigotry is normal for an early human in a tribal society as you have now revealed yourself to be

You're just worried you can't buy a gun.
