The Trump Justice Department has considered banning transgender people from owning guns. Of course, this blatant infringement of the Second Amendment has not gone uncommented-upon.

Justice Department talks about banning transgender gun owners spark fury across political spectrum

The Justice Department is drawing swift condemnation from gun rights groups and LGBTQ advocates alike after floating that it was considering restricting transgender people from owning guns — a move that would all but certainly face immediate constitutional challenges if ever implemented.

LOL. Orangeman gonna make grovelling boolickers, that hallelujah out no matter what Trump says, grow a pseudo-spine, even if momentarily, and speak out against for once. (Some of them that still have the vestige from where to grow the momentary pseudo-spine; which isn't all of them, some don't even have that much left.)

If his trolling makes the left appreciate the value of the 2nd Amendment, I'll take it.

Fair enough. Appreciate the honest acknowledgement, without trying to bob and weave around that.


eta: Although as far as honest acknowledgement, maybe also this: To appreciate someone else's reaction to this tactical misstep from Orangeman, or to point out the hypocrisy of someone else over this, is a different thing than supporting this "this", I hope you see that?

I would love to see how the hell it would be enforced, from a practical point of view.
I guess rounding up Trans people is the next step.

I suspect some kind of badge of a particular colour and shape may be involved. If you're suspected of being Trans then to protect the community and to warn cis-women, you have to display the badge prominently at all times.

Were it not also for the current fashion for body art I'd suggest a prominent, numbered, tattoo to help in the identification process.
 
Missteps, unforeseen consequences of a knee-jerk reaction to a recent event.

His spin doctors must be on overtime trying to get this one figured out.

Wait for the flip flop and the '"I never said that".

Interesting to see your acknowledgement that your president is a troll. And, by strong implication, a liar. And trolls never stop at one topic.

I doubt that "the left" will substantially change their views on the value of the second amendment because of this ignorant comment by Trump. Their point on this issue is equal application of your constitution for all Americans. A concept that both you and your president have substantial difficulty with.
 
trolling would mean they don't actually want to take the guns away from the trans. and in which case, he's also trolled the right into defending trans rights.
