Senior officials at the U.S. Department of Justice have held multiple meetings in recent days to consider a possible federal ban of transgendered individuals from owning firearms, Breitbart News has learned. Multiple sources familiar with the matter, including one official inside the DOJ, confirmed (snip) that the Office of Legal Council (OLC)—which advises the Attorney General on legal matters—has held several such meetings since the tragic shooting, allegedly by a transgendered individual, (snip) This legal question of banning firearm ownership for transgendered individuals would focus on whether these people suffering from gender dysphoria are in fact mentally ill and therefore should be denied firearm ownership while they are unstable and unwell

Good idea but probably a waste of time. There are a lot of ways for people to get guns and all they have to do is dress normally at the time. But we could try it, see what happens.

Banning transgender surgery would likely be just as enforceable.

This is just a distraction from something else, designed to stir up the perverts as a bonus. Since being a tranny is not a crime and they dont report to psychiatrists (obviously), how would they get into the NICS database to be denied the sale? What about the guns they already have or might buy from a friend or stranger? How do you prevent that? If you find a way, whats to stop the authorities from using the same tactics on normal people they dont like, like us? Lets not fall on our swords over dumb stuff.

Won't work Dems have tried the same thing for ALL Americans for decades. Instead of banning gun ownership, which is even a Trannies' 2nd amendment right, the goobernment should start looking into common sense Tranny control laws.

Do it now! If they're so mentally unbalanced that they think they're in the wrong body, they're too unbalanced to own a firearm. Frankly, they should all be in a psychiatric hospital!

I like the idea but I don't think it's constitutional to ban a group just because they have some (or several) nutters among them. That could easily spread to other groups that have some members who go off the rails...Members of the NRA for instance or any organization. Well, maybe Democrats should also be banned. After all, The guy that shot Trump contributed to their party.

Being "transgender" is proof of serious mental illness. One of the disqualifying factors on the 4473 firearms purchase form is "mental illness".

"Transgender" is a social construct. There is no blood test that detects transgenderism. How do you prove someone is a transgendered individual outside of what they claim to believe? What if the self-identified "change their minds" and claim to embrace their biological selves, fake or for real? By what criteria would they be judged? If this becomes an administration policy focus, should the government then look to confiscate existing guns owned by self-identified trannies? Is the marginal public benefit worth potentially weakening the 2nd amendment in the process?

Transgenderism is, and has always been, considered a form of mental illness. It's in the DMS-5. It used to be one of the criteria to qualify for the surgery was diagnosis by a shrink.

I’m of mixed mind. It’s obvious to me trannies are crazy. But are the, as a blanket group, a danger to themselves or others? The leftists, if given this power will suddenly declare Catholics or MAGA supporters or people who didn’t take the Clot Shot unsafe to own firearms. It’s a slippery slope. Better to require every treating doctor who prescribes meds to trannies to make this decision, and fill out a form that they are not dangerous. They’re all leftists and cowards so they’ll declare them all unfit to protect themselves.

In the labyrinthine world of American healthcare, few entities wield as much unchecked power as the American Medical Association (AMA). While the AMA positions itself as the voice of physicians, in reality it’s largely a government-sanctioned medical coding monopoly that extracts billions from the health care system and funnels it into leftist political advocacy supporting transgender pseudo-science, climate radicalism, and racial quotas in medical education and practice.It’s an arrangement that is not only anti-competitive but profoundly unfair, compelling doctors and patients to subsidize agendas they may vehemently oppose.
