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.”
