fr they've literally committed less than 1% of mass shootings in the USA, they're always looking to blame someone other than the guns themselves

Someone told me they are taking guns away from trans people to make them defenseless so people can kill them

well it’s the trump DOJ or whatever and they’re homophobic/transphobic as fuck. there’s been like only two trans people who have been responsible for school shootings (maybe more? i only know of two) and therefore they are choosing to do something about guns only because it’s fitting their transphobic agenda.

Nothing except get more killed if anything. Trans people are no more likely to be violent perpetrators but they are a lott more likely to be the victims of violent crimes including murder

Thats a jump in logic, all I said was that they would save money on guns because they cant buy guns

no but that’s the point of the post and what the senior department justice officials are attempting to do, trying to limit transgender people’s right to possess firearms because of the Minneapolis church shooter who happened to be trans. like #1 said, they’re doing it because they thing trans people are responsible for all gun violence. if you’re attempting to make a silly haha joke, it was a bad time

I believe there’s been 4 total trans shooters since 2018 which is basically zero compared to the thousands of cisgender shooters. It’s so fucking frustrating to see blatant transphobia disguised as protecting our students from gun violence like….

I feel like that would be true if there were legislation in place to make this happen but as far as I know trump is just running his mouth like he always does. He also said he was gonna arrest Gov. Newsom but he didn’t do it…

it was also “all talk” when they threatened to ban trans people from the military, and they put it in law. and sorry if I take my rights seriously. the joke wasn’t even funny, either. bad joke in bad taste.
