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.
Having a gun will not protect you from the military, which is now our enemy.
There is only the option to run and I encourage trans people to begin executing those plans I know you’ve been making to get to higher ground. Pool your resources, go together, support each other.
it makes you a harder target. think of the SovCit and cult groups that squatted on Federal land for years. the government popped a couple (Waco and Ruby Ridge) but in others (e.g. the Bundy standoff, Malheur) the fringe groups were somewhat successful. sure, maybe in part because they were white male conservatives, but I think also because the government knew it’d be a bloody mess, and likely cause them casualties too. most cops are cowards. will they risk life and limb to bag a trans person?
basically, the goal is just to make it hard to round us up, not impossible. it’s harder to sweep us up if we’re strapped.
To not fight is compliance in advance, which is a great source of power and comfort for fascism.
Further, it isn’t likely for the whole of the American military to be aligned with the Trump Regime. Odds are that we will have a civil war - and one side will have minorities serving, many of whom are competent people who have been exiled by the Trump Regime from all sectors of government: Military, intelligence, bureaucratic, and more. Already, the west coast Blue States are forming their own vaccine coalition to replace the loss of Federal services. That is the sign of an upcoming secession, as the Blue States form mutual services that are not dependent on the support of the Trump Regime.
Aside from all of that, America historically had difficulty against guerillas, whom tend to have small arms and communities. Freedom fighters within America’s borders are likely to be even more successful than their foreign peers, simply because ICE would run the risk of turning entire cities or states against the government. Foreign guerillas couldn’t quickly influence the politics of America much, because they aren’t American nor close to home.
