Senior Justice Department officials are weighing proposals to limit transgender people’s right to possess firearms, according to two officials familiar with the internal discussions.
I get the sense that gun control might actually be a secondary issue here. Maybe this is just me lacking in familiarity, but I don’t get the sense that there is any significant risk to the current power structure from armed trans resistance.
I suspect that the bigger part of this is that it’s gonna go against the second ammendment, and they are going to try to going to justify it by claiming that all transgender people are dangerous and/or mentally ill. Establishing that in legal precedent seems like a direct stepping stone to monitoring and legislating against them en masse.
Be that as it may, I get the sense that the main motivation here isn’t fear of retaliation, but that of making the trans individual one that is legally recognized as pathological and hazardous to society.
Fascists are weird. They both are paranoid that any member of a group on their shit list will be the modern day Spartacus and come after them for revenge…thus justifying further oppression. However, when any minority group does so. They’re genuinely dumbfounded when people retaliate.

agreed, the fear here for me isn’t the guns, its the justification for taking them away.
Exactly right. They are setting precedents now to use when shit hits the fan. Full on Nazi shit they plan.
