In the wake of the latest deadly attack on a school by a transgender-identifying individual, President Donald Trump’s Justice Department is considering blocking trans-identifying people from buying firearms, The Daily Wire is reporting.
“Individuals within the DOJ are reviewing ways to ensure that mentally ill individuals suffering from gender dysphoria are unable to obtain firearms while they are unstable and unwell,” one source inside the Justice Department told news organization.
It may not be what it seems. It’s just as possible that the Trump Administration is merely trolling the Left to see if it will mount a strong defense of the Second Amendment. A ban on an entire category of citizens, after all, would not likely pass constitutional muster, although it’s true that the Trump Department of Defense no longer allows transgenders to enlist in the military.
But after a disproportionate number of mass shootings have been perpetrated by transgenders, the White House’s national security team may be including transgender violence in its overall probe into domestic terrorism.
Many commentators have raised concerns that mass shootings, especially at schools, are increasingly the work of mental unstable individuals who have taken psychotropic drugs or hormones to change their gender appearance.
The news comes the same week that a 25-year-old man who identifies himself as a she/her in Ontario, Canada, was charged with breaking in to a family’s home and sexually assaulting their toddler.
“The fact that the DOJ is considering blocking trans-identifying individuals from owning guns suggests that the Justice Department views the situation very differently. A review by The Daily Wire found that the Annunciation school shooting and the Covenant Christian school shooting are just two examples of a steady stream of transgender-related violence over the past decade,” the Daily Wire wrote.
In a statement sure to trigger transgenders and Democrats,”Democrats have called for common sense gun laws for a long time,” the DOJ source shared on Thursday with the Daily Wire, adding, “This seems pretty common sense to me.”

Excellent!
Guns don’t kill. Mental illness is the killer. And transgenders (actually, every form of homosexuality) is mental illness. No guns for these people.
Perfect comment! Well said Jose!
> actually, every form of homosexuality
The rightist and liberty movement normies do not yet seem to grasp that all the crud born from the 1960s sexual revolution has to go- including the normalization of homosexuality.
Think of the butchers bill of the sexual revolution: from 65+million abortions to the countless lives ruined by deviance. What a great tragedy.
Homosexuality was always considered a mental illness in the early doctrinal thought of psychiatric medicine. The homosexual revolution of the latter 60’s and beyond, gave it newfound acceptance in particular communities. Then, it gradually gained a general acceptance during the past 40 years through political pressure and from teachings (grade schools through college). But if you take it down to the individual level, many patients with psychiatric afflictions find that the organic roots of their problems are deeply embedded in their homosexuality. This is widely known in the field of psychiatric medicine. The only real taboo we see in the modern era is to discuss this issue freely and in honest terms.
Thanks, Dr.Dan. The liberals want to adjust society to their terms. And that’s why their disgusting sexual habits are no longer secrets of the bedroom closet. If you look at the people pushing this agenda, both in the media and politics, you would find that the number of them are in the homosexual category. Probably less than 5% of Americans are true homosexuals. But to hear about their whining in the media and through political action, one would think their numbers are above 50%. Brainwashing, starting at a young age, could drive those numbers up.
“……..Guns don’t kill. Mental illness is the killer………”
This is, of course, true. 58% of all American firearm deaths are suicides, which should be recognized as mental (and/or spiritual) illness.
Take guns away? The US only sees 3% of suicides being “jumpers”. Why? Because we have guns? In Hong Kong, an environment devoid of guns but filled with tall buildings, jumpers compose 52% of suicides, and Singapore jumpers compose 60% of suicides. Are we then going to regulate gravity? Ban tall buildings and bridges?
Mentally defective, as a regulation of gun transfer, must be adjudicated like everything else in this country of lawyers. That means more courts and more background and recurring checks, including private sales. It will never happen. The right will fight it like wildcats.
And so the world turns…………..
Please, no more LGBTQ in government. These people are mentally ill and desire violence to stake their claim for societal control. Fight back.
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Well now that will put that you MAGA-types in a bit of a pickle, won’t it? Which do you despise more: Guys becoming gals, or infringement of Second Amendment rights?
You mean, mentally ill guys PRETENDING to be gals.
“Transgender” is a vicious lie.
Perfectly happy with infringing the 2nd amendment rights of guys who want to be gals!
Whidbey, do you tuck?
I don’t think most of the pro 2A crowd has a problem with the feds enforcing the mental illness prohibition (part of the NICS background process) on purchasing firearms: gender dysphoria is a medically (psychiatric) defined mental disorder, so by definition it is illegal for a she-he or a he-she to buy a firearm from an FFL.
No we don’t like people with mental problems being armed. Do you. ?? You’re a complete moron whidby. This has nothing to do with second amendment rights. In fact your bizarre comment is so irrational you should surrender your weapons.
I’d sell ’em all if it wasn’t such a hassle, and if I could get a decent price for them. And I’ve got quite a few.
BB guns are the only arms Whidbey has. His comments reflect his ability to defend himself…..or others. I carry…..concealed. And I know how and when to use.
But would you? Highly doubtful. And yes, mine are the real thing, but I’ve no real need for them. I’ll gladly sell them to you, provided you’re not mentally ill and can pass a background check. Think you can meet that criteria?
A ban on firearms ownership by the mentally ill has been in place since 1968. This is just one of several “infringements” that go beyond ideological chess play. It’s common sense……..although I’ll admit that the mentally ill might not be cognizant enough to recognize that…………..
Possession of a firearm by the mentally ill is regulated by both state and federal laws.
Federal Law
Under 18 U.S.C. § 922(d), it is unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person “has been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to any mental institution.”
Alaska Law: § 47.30.851
A person who is prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(4) as a result of an involuntary commitment or an adjudication of mental illness or mental incompetence that occurred in this state may, at any time, move to be relieved from the disability resulting from an involuntary commitment or an adjudication of mental illness or mental incompetence.
A diagnosis for gender dysphoria is included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The DSM-5 is published by the American Psychiatric Association. The diagnosis was created to help people with gender dysphoria get access to mental healthcare and treatment. It is recognized as a formal diagnosis by mental health professionals.
No Issues from MAGA- Mentally ill people don’t get to possess firearms. Neither should you 🙂
“…….A diagnosis for gender dysphoria is included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5)……..”
Don’t blink. The APA will now likely be in haste to drop it from the DSM.
AkDan:
Your comment goes straight to the head of the class. Excellent reasoning.
Oh come on Whidbey! You know MAGA can hold two beliefs that are diametrically opposed and cherry pick data (or straight up lies) to support each of those beliefs!
I’ll jump in. It sure does not put MAGA types in any kind of pickle. Robert Westman (aka “Robin”) was definitely crazy and certainly should have been getting A MINIMUM of a safety confiscation by local police. Was there not one single person in his realm that had even the slightest hunch that he might hurt someone or hurt himself? This is the exact kind of person who should have his weapons taken away, and be prevented, on some level, from obtaining more. I have been a 2A proponent my whole life, and was raised in that environment: Everyone in my world learned to shoot around age 6, owned their own firearms by age 10 (my first is a beautiful custom black powder rifle my grandfather had made for me) and we understood what the second amendment was all about. We practiced regularly, like it or not. In that environment, I personally knew of at least one serious incident in which a Vietnam Vet tripped out on a toxic blend of pain killers and alcohol and went on a psychotic bender. VERY dangerous situation, with Vietnam hallucinations and the whole nine yards. Heavily armed man, shooting at his pets–My own father entered that situation, calmed his friend, and removed his weapons even before the cops showed up. As an adult, I participated in police ride-alongs where safety checks and confiscations were regular occurrences.
If you believe in gun rights, then you practice gun safety, and you look out for your friends THE RIGHT WAY. Not by condoning their behavior, but by keeping them safe. Even if that means keeping them safe from themselves. My heart is broken that Robert Westman’s PARENTS, FRIENDS, COWORKERS, and CONFIDANTS were so busy condoning, mollifying, and permitting his bad behavior that it led him down a path to the ultimate end point. All someone needed to do was request a safety check up by the police and that young man’s guns would have gone down town and he would not have had the artillery needed to do the deed. A safety confiscation does not come along with criminal charges (unless something happens that leads that direction).
Is Westman related to Northman??
Trump is a trillion times smarter than any Democrat either individually or collectively, and he’ll make them support the 2nd Amendment the same as they support crime.
Troll of the year.
Telling a left-leaning group who normally dislike firearms as a whole that they cannot have something that is constitutionally protected…
Then watch them fight for the right to have firearms.
Genius.
2nd. Left leaning individuals are generally baby killing blood thirsty animals. Thinking them peaceful is foolish. Re think what you’re thinking.
Let’s be very clear on one point: medically and scientifically, there is NO SUCH THING as “transgender”. There is only bodily mutilation and profound mental illness.
One cannot change one’s genes, which is what it would take to truly become “transgender”.
One such site for the mentally ill trans people is the armed and ready Oregon based EugeneWeekly.com site calling for donations for firearm support. It’s an ad online with a donation tab.
Transgenders (people pretending to be the opposite sex) should be disqualified by question 12f as they are mental defectives.
I put money on the troll angle.
And I’m impressed! It’s like folks flying to Anchorage to protest the meeting between Trump and Putin – “So, your protesting an atempt at peace, right?”
How many times have self-serving liberals preached to the normal people that passing legislation that infringes on our 2A rights would be justified if it “saved just one child’s life?”
Wouldn’t this same claim apply here?
Liberals are gonna find themselves in quite a philosophical pickle now. Genius strategy!
Let the whining begin. Behold the hypocrisy!
Democrat’s legacy 1968 Gun Control Act prohibits felons, drug users, and others, including those adjudicated mentally ill from owning or possessing firearms in the US. (18USC922(g))
The mentally ill privision hinges on a court decision “adjudicating” or finding one mentally ill. Today’s mental health industry rarely rely on courts. So the law doesn’t fit.
IMO, Congress would gave to amend the law, which is not likely, before extending it to include a larger group of individuals. Or, perhaps, to somehow expand liability and add monitoring requirements, to those prescribing psychotropic drugs?
“………The mentally ill privision hinges on a court decision “adjudicating” or finding one mentally ill. Today’s mental health industry rarely rely on courts. So the law doesn’t fit……….”
Actually, society doesn’t need psychologists now that gender dysphoria is listed in the DSM. The condition is listed, and the person’s behavior convicts them. All one needs is proof of the person’s trans behavior and a cooperative DA’s office.
Good luck finding the cooperative DA………….
If the DOJ is concerned with gun violence, they should ban white men from having guns, given that most mass shootings ae committed by this group. Any takers?
OMG- Are you trolling or do you really believe this?
You keep showing your low IQ, cman. White males make up 30% of the US population and own most of the guns, so yes, that’s going to correlate ….but want a real statistic? Young black males are responsible for 36% of gun deaths in America, although they make up just 2% of the population. Should we take away guns from. all young black males? Just sit this one out, or at least google harder so you don’t look so inept.
Of course, I’m aware of the demographics and their percentage in the population. I’m just drawing one extreme conclusion from the extreme conclusion drawn by the DOJ. I would figure if you’re OK with one you’d be OK with the other. Guess not.
“……..I’m just drawing one extreme conclusion from the extreme conclusion drawn by the DOJ………”
No extremes are necessary from anybody. Guns are already banned from those adjudicated mentally defective, gender dysphoria is a certified mental illness, and all that is lacking is the adjudication for trans people.
Are you advocating that such adjudications shouldn’t be conducted? If so, why?
“Should we take away guns from. all young black males?” – Only the ones who think they’re women.
The logic and data certainly are there…
Well Whidbey, I really like pickles. What a I dont like is mentally ill sexually confused leftwing homicidal maniacs owning fire arms. I do not hate these sick people, I want them to get the help they need. So calm down Whidbey and enjoy a nice crunchy pickle.
Who knows where Furry Whidbey sticks his pickles? Likely not his mouth
LOL Let the games begin as the gender dysphoria spreads like peanut butter on warm toast and the left embraces them.
Well Suzanne, it looks like prohibition of firearm ownership by an entire class of people has already passed constitutional muster, not including convicted felons. Good article, though.
BB guns are the only arms Whidbey has. His comments reflect his ability to defend himself…..or others. I carry…..concealed. And I know how and when to use.
I shot a BB gun when I was 52. Dangerous as can be.
You’ll shoot yer eye out
Sorry, cman. In 2023, 8,842 murderers in the United States were white, while 6,405 were Black. Blacks only constitute 14% of the overall population, but they committed 42% of the murders.
As to me the elephant in the room is this a spiritual issue. The common thread is these shooters are all nihilist. Another words they believe in nothing. So they have nothing. And they have no hope
