Selectively revoking constitutional rights for vulnerable minority groups is a GIGANTIC red flag. The reddest possible flag.

The genocide started a long time ago. Healthcare for trans people has been severely restricted in most states, several states ban them from public spaces & institutions, and many private institutions in Blue states including universities & hospitals have stripped rights away from trans people

Women are sub-citizens because they donโ€™t have the right to make their own medical decisions.

Tran & intersex US citizens were removed from military service.
Are now sub-citizens.

These are moves to segregate society.

If they are responding to the shooting in MN (They are) then look at the fact that the vaaaaaast majority of school shooters are white men. Now, how do you think that would play for the "shall not be infringed crowd" if we ban firearms from white men?

Just thinking about all of the right wing gun owners I've heard over the years explaining how the Nazis wouldn't have been able to persecute and kill the Jews if those Jews had had guns.

These same people would have absolutely supported stripping Jews of any gun rights.

I've said it before: people hated by the current regime need to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights NOW. Because the despots will use guns against you if they can (or at least the threat of guns) and you cannot count on others to defend you. It's a very sad thing to have to say.

All authoritarian governments ban citizens from owning guns because they are afraid of their own people. It's true in China, Russia, N Korea, Iran, etc. Was true in all former Soviet block countries. This is glaringly obvious but the MAGA gun nuts are not smart enough to connect these dots.

They think this is a troll but all this does is open the door to using red flag laws more aggressively. After all, by allowing one so-called mental health issue (gender dysphoria) to strip gun away rights, there is now zero reason why other mental health issues couldn't be used in the future.

Transgender Americans represent less than 1% of the population.

Taking away their guns would only make them less able to defend themselves.

Remember. . .

Guns don't kill people.

Homophobes do.

This is how it was always going to go. When the gun rights advocates voted in their chosen conservative candidates, it was eventually gonna wind up in a scenario where certain undesirable groups were going to be prohibited from owning weapons. Today, itโ€™s transgender people. Tomorrow itโ€™s Latinos.

Itโ€™s just like with abortion. There are people who are miscarrying, who intended on carrying the child to term, but who need healthcare services due to severe pregnancy complications and are being forced to wait unusually long times or carry a dead child to term because of โ€œanti-abortionโ€ laws.
