And this is why I keep telling my trans homies they need to arm themselves and offering to take them shooting away from gun nuts and Republicans.
Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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
Good luck finding a definition that doesn't illegalize all gender affirming care like dick pills which I imagine is something they cannot do without.
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...?
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:

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
And just like that another step closer to me either driving myself to the border and leaving everything behind or to well…
Never wanted a gun but if they try this I'll provide one to the cause
I am going to guess the “shall not be infringed” people will conveniently not show up for this.
I'm sure the NRA will be fighting this tooth and nail /s
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:
Make guns illegal for everyone. That oughtta do it.
That is a horrible idea at the worst possible time. Unless you mean they should and expect that to cause the citizenry to rise up?
It was sarcasm. 🤦♂️
Ahhh, didn't see it. My bad.
But I got lots of hammers at home! Ban that beacho!
