Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, September 05, 2025

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is considering imposing restrictions that would prevent those undergoing gender transition or diagnosed with gender dysphoria from purchasing firearms. Notably, the potential legal restrictions come in the wake of anti-Trump transgender Robin Westman's deadly attack on a back-to-school Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last week.

Reportedly, the DOJ is discussing internally whether to extend restrictions that bar certain mentally ill people from owning firearms to those with gender dysphoria, which is itself classified as a mental disorder. A DOJ source, speaking with the media, explained: "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."

You know one of the first laws put on the books during Trump's first term was to restore gun rights to the mentally ill. Just sayin

Minneapolis Shooting Suspect Hated Trump -- and All People of Color

In a YouTube video now taken offline, Westman had magazines with a variety of slurs and right-wing slogans written on them, including "kick a spic," "fart nigga," "McVeigh," and "Waco." Westman also had smoke grenades with "Jew Gas" written on them and the antisemitic, pro-Holocaust slogan "6 million wasn't enough" written on their gear.

We need more transgender mass shootings, it's the first time America is considering doing something to change the 2nd amendment.

It's amazing how republicans are suddenly supportive of eliminating the 2nd amendment.

Trump really is changing this nation.

Actually, it has been. Red flag laws have long been a target for 2A zealots.

#15 | Posted by eberly

Yes. The Republican definition of Transgender is: A person suffering from the disease of gender dysphoria.

Important question, thanks for bringing it up.

When the dust settles, let's talk about the other diseases should be used to take away people's Second Amendment rights.

I'd like to nominate Obesity.

Just because there have been four or more trans shooters in recent years is not reason, at this point, to ban them. Whether they were naturally mentally unstable, or due to the drugs/chemicals* they are on should be evaluated to determine what causes such a mindset to 'go off the handle' IMO.

*GOOGLE AI Overview
Transgender people may take gender-affirming hormones, which include estrogens and anti-androgens for transgender women, and testosterone for transgender men, to help align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. This process, known as hormone therapy, aims to induce specific physical changes, such as feminization or masculinization.

"Transgender people may take gender-affirming hormones"

I'll believe you're serious about the risk of guns in the hands of hormone users

When

You advocate testing police, whose job requires carrying a gun, for illicit hormone use.

Fun fact: I support testing cops for steroids. Very obvious way to identify some of the most obvious thugs.

So do a lot of guys, including professional athletes and cops, over the age of 40.

Have low T? Take hormone supplements. BUT NO GUNS FOR YOU!

I'd love to see all these Republican gun owners lose their right to own guns.

Hormones turn people with a gun into violent killers.
Therefore, we will not be testing Police for hormones.
But we will be testing you.
