So we’ve reached the minorities-flee-the-country stage.

That was fast. It’s getting Nazier by the minute in this motherfucker…

    There are rumblings from the administration to expand gun restrictions to trans individuals for mental health reasons. The second amendment is for everyone (2A4E). Get to know neighbors and be that Militia the Founding Fathers expected for a free State. If they can take guns from trans people, they can take guns from anyone.

    A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

      Absolutely. I saw this headline and was rather surprised. Note the “for now” in my post. Trans people have been targeted the entire time during this administration. I said on Lemmy for trans people need to arm themselves, and I mean carry outside when they are interacting with society, because the gays were some of the first people snatched and put into concentration camps, the trans groups seem to be the first target this time.

      Because I’m not some MAGAt I am personally concerned about my safety when out in public now, although my immediate area is pretty mixed racially and politically, I still live in a Trump state. How long until some kind of martial law is declared where I live? How long until some kind of political litmus test is given to be able to purchase goods? Have a job? Etc.

      Honestly, I think it would make more sense to restrict access to guns for transpeople on the grounds that they might kill themselves.

      Everyone who is anti-gun loves to say that gun owners are more likely to use it on themselves than a threat. Transpeople commit suicide at significantly higher rates than the rest of the population.

      It’s interesting how stances change when they suit an agenda.
