Saturday, September 06, 2025

The idea of restricting gun rights has long been a red line for conservatives, with many Republican lawmakers and gun rights groups opposing red flag laws and or other policies aimed at keeping guns away from people suffering from mental health issues.

The only way we can protect society from a Transgender person who has every right to get a gun is to institutionalize all the Transgenders.

"Right-wing extremists: Data from the ADL consistently shows that the vast majority of politically motivated killings in the United States are committed by right-wing extremists.

For instance, the ADL found that from 2014 to 2023, 76% of extremist-related murders were carried out by right-wing extremists.

Other extremist motivations: Over the same period, domestic Islamist extremists accounted for 19% of such murders, while left-wing extremists and other groups were responsible for much smaller percentages."

AI Overview
Domestic terror attacks and fatalities in the US are most frequently associated with white supremacists and other right-wing extremists, though offenders' profiles and motivations vary. White nationalist ideology often drives the most lethal attacks.

As I said, if those people weren't on the streets being the Trumpers that they are, we wouldn't have much in the way of domestic terror shootings at all.

Of the mass shooting numbers I listed earlier Redial, at least 4 of them would be Trans shooters. I am not sure if this latest one is factored in. With that said going off the numbers ... If 4 of those are assigned to them that would represent 6.2% of mass shootings would be attributed to Trans Individuals. They presently make up 0.95%. That's a huge difference when looking at numbers by race in this country vs race of mass shooter.

Where I have the problem is people who are mentally ill people owning them. Case in point ... Zed and Legally (neither of these people could legitimately pass a psychological exam with the things they've said here). Back to the math, .95% of the population is committing a number greater than 6.2% of the mass shootings. That's a very big problem and I'm glad our President has the willingness to address it.

Let's see. I own an SKS Commando assault rifle. I believe in UFO's, I never bought into WMD's in Iraq, RussiaGate, the Laptop, or any of that silliness. I won't take Aspartame, I'm unvaccinated (the vaxxed will die, the unvaxxed will be hunted), and I think Fluoridation is neither safe or effective (only topically applied fluoride works, drinking it doesn't - you just don't swish it on your teeth for a minute).

But at least I don't think I'm a woman. Or want to be.

The difference is that if you give a man estrogen, it increases aggression, reduces impulse control, and fogs your mind. How can you accurately plan a massacre like that?

Democrats overwhelmingly support stricter gun control measures to reduce gun violence, advocating for policies such as universal background checks, banning assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines, and implementing "red flag" laws to keep guns from those deemed dangerous.

Setting aside any impact of the 1994-2004 AWB:

What is a gun law that isn't easily circumvented, and compatible wit the Second Amendment, and could significantly reduce gun violence?

SCOTUS will find, in their infinite wisdom, that limited Gun Bans on targeted populations is Kosher.

That's a prediction. I fully expect it.

The Camps will also be part of the Crackdown.

They have to disarm millions before it's "Safe".

Funny Enough, most of the people stripped of second amendment rights will be minority groups, immigrants and blue state areas.

He had the initiative. Somebody was going to have to go through that door first without knowing exactly where he was. There was a high chance of taking a bullet if you were first or second in line and only the highest classes of body armor (III and IV) can stop 5.56. Assuming you're hit in the armor, which only covers your chest.

The border patrol team who ended it entered with the lead agent carrying a ballistic shield.

I'm guessing by the time the police got organized they assumed the shooter had already killed everyone in the classrooms, so there was no rush. The report on the event didn't paint the police in a good light.

Recent reports also say the school doors were faulty and not secured properly, but locks mean little to someone carrying a Modern Sporting Rifle.

The police heard him shooting and didn't engage.

There was one bad guy with a gun on a killing spree, and 182 good guys with a gun loitering in the parking lot on a coffee break.

The Second Amendment is why civilians can easily purchase a weapon that police won't engage without a ballistic shield.

Just like the Founders wanted it.

On 29 July 2024, a mass stabbing targeting young girls occurred at the Hart Space, a dance studio in the Meols Cop area of Southport, Merseyside, United Kingdom. Seventeen-year-old Axel Rudakubana killed three children and injured ten others at a Taylor Swift"themed yoga and dance workshop attended by 26 children.

My son isn't on any psych drugs.
His best friend in HS also trans wasn't
a third trans person in his HS also wasn't

So pretty far from all of them I would say since my personal experience is none of them. I'm sure my personal experience is not fully representative but still if I know 3 trans people not on psych drugs that already eliminates "all of them" as a possibility.

it's great that your 'son'(ftm?) isn't on the drugs, but all of the subset of trannie+shooter is on them, per reportage. Maybe you can find an exception to this statement as well, but the fact will remain, these drugs carry behavior warnings on the label and sure enough we're seeing some pretty severe behavior issues with the people that use them.
The point is, the tool used is secondary to the user. If we can't fix the people they will simply select another tool- knife, screwdriver, car, pointy stick, etc.
