The Department of Justice under Donald Trump is floating the idea of banning guns for people who are on “gender affirming” chemical treatment. This follows another mass shooting targeting children by a transgendered person. 2A Advocates cite the dangerous precedent this sets to take guns from people for a myriad of other “medical” reasons. The conservative base has largely celebrated this possibility.
A DOJ spokesperson said, “Under Attorney General Bondi’s leadership, this Department of Justice is actively considering a range of options to prevent mentally unstable individuals from committing acts of violence, especially at schools.”

Excerpt:
In the aftermath of the tragic Minneapolis shooting — where two young lives were lost to a violent gunman — Trump’s Department of Justice is considering taking action to stop guns from getting in the hands of transgenders.
The move is being celebrated by conservatives, as the shooter, Robin Westman, was a 23-year-old man who identified as a woman.
One potential avenue could see Trump formally declare that those who identify as transgender are mentally ill and no longer legally allowed to possess firearms.
