And just like that, gun ownership required a mental health check, and transsexuality was labelled a mental health issue.
Mental Health Check:
Trans <- You are here
Non-Christians
Democrats
Never Trumpers
Trump Derangement Syndrome
When the king cuts friend and foe
And every nation knows his wrath
When he's dead in 20 years
We'll be here, and they'll be back
When we're all hung out to dry
By our saviour technocrats
Gun lovers are gonna back the trans people, right???
"Lover" is maybe too strong a term, but as a gun owner I totally have my Trans homies backs.
I mostly meant those Republican gun owners who would fight for a convicted felon to have a gun. I’m guessing they will have no problem taking guns away from trans people. This is just the GOP Testing water to see how many guns they can take before there is a revolt. If they do it slow enough they can probably collect them all
Well, we saw how they reacted when Hunter was charged, right?
"Oh, we didn't mean YOU."
I do
Same day they fight the oppressive regime
Ahh, but oppression is subjective
Looks like they are afraid. Good.
Heads up NRA!
The Trump regime is trying to reduce gun sales!
Well played.
Not to worry, I'm sure the crowd who loves to scream, "The right to bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" any time gun control is being discussed will be strongly opposed to this too. Right...?
Never wanted a gun but if they try this I'll provide one to the cause
They absolutely love the second amendment, except when people they don’t like use it. (Same with all the other amendments, and the Constitution in general.)
Spoiler alert: they hate the Constitution.
In group the law protects but doesn't bind, out group the law binds but doesn't protect
Hate to say I called it... but, yeah. :(
"But Justice Department leadership is seriously considering whether it can use its rulemaking authority to follow on to Trump’s determination to bar military service by transgender people and declare that people who are transgender are mentally ill and can lose their Second Amendment rights to possess firearms, according to one Justice official."
Me from 1 week ago:
I am going to guess the “shall not be infringed” people will conveniently not show up for this.
Better buy now and get comfortable with your gun because they are coming for you, Noone is gonna protect you except yourself.
Americans will 100% let themselves be stuffed into the unmarked vans before they’ll lift a finger.
It already happened last time:
Bonus: Totally illegal operation:

I'm sure the NRA will be fighting this tooth and nail /s
They've at least said something, which is more than any democratic politicians will ever do.
And just like that another step closer to me either driving myself to the border and leaving everything behind or to well…
@jordanlund Do they generally even want to own guns? I am sure their friends will give them some when the revolution comes.
Oh, I guess I am missing the self-defence aspect, my silly non-American mind.
Yeah, self defense is a big one, especially in the trans community.
Did you know that people who are trans are 4 times more likely to be victims of violent crime?

Unfortunately, suicides are also higher. :( So when it comes to guns, there may not be any good answers.

All we can do is give them the same love and compassion all humans deserve.
@jordanlund Uugh, yeah.
And of course, if a trans person happened to use one in self-defence, it would be distorted by the press to the point of absurdity and just add to the government-by-Twitter storm :(
Odd there's not been a call to stop Ketamine addicts from owning guns... I am sure the stats are somewhat more significant on that one.
Drug addicts do have to declare when purchasing a gun, that's what got Hunter in trouble.
Of course, if you're the party in power, nobody checks.
Look at you mocking both Americans AND trans people.
Go rot.
