Trump’s DOJ Wants to Deprive Trans People of the Right to Self-Defense

The Justice Department’s interest in stripping trans people of Second Amendment rights would expose vulnerable communities to more danger.

What ever happened to "Banning guns won't work" and "If you ban guns then only criminals will have guns"?

  No principles. Only hurting the vulnerable.

  It was always a lie.

Ahh, so banning transgender people from the military was about stripping transgender people of access to self-defense weapons? That's an interesting consideration, but the logic is so consistent that it makes perfect sense.

I can't wait to hear my coworkers or family members defend this after I say "shall not be infringed" and "all gun control is an infringement" or "gun bans don't work"
I've heard the same argument from all of them, for years, any time Biden or Obama "considered" something about firearms.
I'm a big believer in the 2nd Ammendment, including the "in keeping a well-regulated militia" aspect that everyone seems to forget about. However, any time a well-regulated militia pops up that isn't a bunch of religious white raging racist homophobic bigots, the alphabet squads get involved for "national security" reasons. Or they label the group a terrorist group. Just ask the black Panthers. Or anyone accused of being "members of antifa"
Arm yourselves, train with your firearms. Remember the 4 rules of firearm safety. The government you were taught would protect you is the very thing trying to eliminate you.

  Nah these people are morons - instead try: Oh good, finally the first ban, let's do the crazies next, right? Immigrants, sure. And pedophiles, absolutely. And nazis, obviously, and bolshevik sympathizers. This is good stuff, who else... vegans, feminists, cyclists... Hold on, where's your copy of project 2025? Don't have one? Ok, you're banned too.

They want to make sure none of their neonazi Gestapo get shot when they start hauling them away to genocide camps. Sorry but that’s what I think is going on.
