Trans Americans aren't the bullies or the problem. The Trump Administration is. And from some of the responses I've been reading, a lot of pro-gun folks aren't happy with this. They feel that if trans people can be banned from owning guns, it would make things easier to ban other groups from owning guns.
From the article:
The DOJ is reportedly looking at ways to designate transgender people as mentally ill and therefore ineligible to exercise their Second Amendment rights, one Justice official told CNN.
“The vast majority of mass attacks in the US have no connection to transgender people,” the report stated, “Still, after the deadly shooting last week, some conservative allies of the president quickly claimed that gender dysphoria – the psychological distress and discomfort some people feel when there’s a difference between their sex assigned at birth and their gender identity – is a mental illness that should bar citizens from purchasing a firearm.”
A 2023 report by the U.S. Secret Service National Threat Association Center found that from 2016 to 2020, 96% of shooters were men, 3% women, and 2% transgender.
