The Trump administration is reportedly considering an effort to ban transgender people from owning guns.
After a transgender Robert Westman, who changed his name to Robin, killed two children and injured 19 others in a Catholic Church during mass, President Trump’s DoJ is looking into ways to take gun rights from transgenders.
The report, which called the discussions preliminary, said one option would be to use President Donald Trump’s order barring trans people from serving in the military as a template for gun restrictions.
If this is true, there is no way this should even be considered. We don’t know that every transgender is mentally ill, and even if they are, which I doubt, most are not violent.
Gender dysphoria is not a reason to take away the Second Amendment from an entire group of people.
This is a slippery slope. What will the next group be? Conservatives, liberals, soldiers, divorced men?
I am grateful for many things President Trump is doing, but he can’t take guns away from people with gender dysphoria. A better plan is to make psychiatric care more available.
They have Red Flag laws and no one reported Robin Westman. More laws and tyrannical bans are not a solution.
Maybe this is a Trump effort to get the Democrats to defend gun rights. So far, it’s very effective.
As for the left, Stephen King thinks the trans didn’t do it, the gun did.

The “writer” of this article said we don’t know trannies are mentally ill. We don’t know if trannies are mentally ill?!? Of course we know they’re mentally ill. Theses aholes are using “they” pronouns and claiming there’s a million genders. This dumbass “writer” should get real.
I don’t think we can say all trans are mentally ill. Even if they are mentally ill, it doesn’t mean they are violent.
Slippery slope,No more laws use the current ones . There are laws on the books to require evaluation of people thought to be mentally impaired. Concentrate on fewer gun free zones and more responsible people being armed to prevent such acts .
Ohhhhhh what a twisted web we weave.
Pop your popcorn and sit back to watch the Dems twist themselves into knots defending the 2nd A for trans.
Oh, yes we CAN take guns away from them and should. Guns are restricted by age and location, must be concealed or locked up, background checks, classes and permits required to leave home with them and they can be misused in the wrong hands. Same applies to Ideology – which is also protected by the Constitution along with guns. Islam… Read more »
I’m sorry but reading your post I cannot make out your views . It is probably me but it reads as word salad.
The more rules and laws are made the more the sinful nature of people desires to break the laws in rebellion. Anarchists love more laws because it causes people to hate authority and crate chaos. M. Dowling is on track: provide help, not make more rules.
Don’t want to speak for M Dowling, but my take was that it’s a slippery slope, you restrict trans people next they’ll be resting people with disabilities, or say you have a mental disorder if you don’t agree. They do need to provide more options for these people, the medication is not good for them
