I look forward to the NRA fighting for the rights of transgender Americans to own guns.
In the wake of the Minneapolis Catholic church shooting, senior Justice Department officials are weighing proposals to limit transgender peoples right to possess firearms, according to two officials familiar with the internal discussions.
The talks, described as preliminary in nature, appear to build on an idea that has gained some currency in conservative media since the Minneapolis shooting that killed two children and injured 21, most of them children, at Annunciation Catholic Church, an attack that police say was carried out by a 23-year-old transgender woman.
Such a move would represent a dramatic escalation of the Trump administrations fight against the rights of transgender Americans.
President Donald Trump has issued a series of executive orders on the topic, including one barring transgender people from serving in the military and another ordering federal prisons to move transgender inmates to facilities corresponding to their gender assigned at birth.

But yes, the NRA should be very worried about this development. Trump is coming for your guns!

(51,772 posts)school in the Green Hills neighborhood of Nashville, Tennessee, when 28-year-old Aiden Hale (born Audrey Elizabeth Hale), a transgender man and former student of the school, killed three nine‑year‑old children and three adults before being shot and killed by two Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) officers. It is the deadliest school shooting in Tennessee history.

There are just too many mass shootings to keep track of.

Throw that into the face of the NRA and ask them if they TRULY believe the shit they vomit.
Even if (if, Gracie?) they dont, like Republicans and abortion, Ds should stand up a faux group that will, using the exact same words the NRA has used in proliferating guns everywhere, take trans rights court to court to SCOTUS, just to watch them squirm.
If THE BLIND can have guns - so can trans!

If they're gonna try to make the case that transgender folks are mentally ill -- well, that'd open (or close, depending on how you look at it) a whole mess of doors, wouldn't it?
