DOJ plans to label trans Americans as "mentally defective" to take away their guns
(www.lgbtqnation.com)
Hahahahahaha I bet removing trans peoples guns will be the straw that finally breaks the camels back in the US. LOLOLOL what a bunch of pathetic fash.
You would hope. I mean even the NRA came out against this bullshit! But I do Uber in a smallish town, and the shit I've heard...
I look like the typical masculine "ideal" these idiots have in their head; y'all, well built, blonde hair, blue eyes. So they tend to over share. And I've gotten a couple complaints about "illegal driving" which is fucking laughable to anyone who rides with me, and Uber cause they use telemetrics on the phone out the ass, so they can see how my driving was.
But I don't just let shit go anymore. If you say something stupid I'm going to inform you of the truth and make you feel dumb while I do it. Recently some dude was gushing about alligator Auschwitz, and when I told him they are shutting it down you could see... Nothing, there was absolutely nothing behind this dude's eyes.
He also bragged about how him and his girl "are" Marines then immediately tells me he got kicked out of basic forrrr(drumroll please).... Selling fucking meth! These people vote.
you underestime just how much they hate. I think their hate will overcome anything that fuck does.
people are incredibly stupid, incredibly lazy and america is chock full of authoritarians just craving to be told what to do.
...but all the conservative pedos get to keep their guns, amirite?
Don’t forget all the conservative wife beaters. They have to keep their guns too.
You mean cops?
I ain’t budgin’ I refuse to be relocated and tortured.
Everyone always says why not provide free mental health care to prevent shootings.
Oh shit
I'm curious at just how many "trans" people they think have guns in the first place. Let alone the bullshit science behind their reasons.

Where are the 2fa people howling to keep gun rights? They seem to be fine with this. Maybe their whining was never about guns at all?
https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/05/politics/nra-transgender-gun-control
Nra is even against it.
It's 2A people btw. 2fa is two factor authentication and has nothing to do with the 2nd.
I thought the official position of the government was that transgender people didn't exist
This is probably just another distraction. I don't think the executive brach has the power to declare someone mentally ill for the purposes of existing gun legislation. They would need a new law through congress, and they won't get enough votes for that.

Gun control for thee, but not for me
What does the Massie family Christmas card have to do with it?
Look, Massie sucks, but I know they're mad at him right now, so it's an odd choice of image given the article is about the DOJ.
Does that look like a photo of a mentally stable group of people?
Not exactly, but I am pretty sure they're so 2nd Amendment pilled they'd defend trans rights to an automatic rifle.
Like, say what you want about Massie, but he's probably one of the few republicans that aren't complete pieces of shit. Considering his libertarian leanings, more than likely he'll come out against this. Hell, apparently even the NRA is against this.
