    Trump supporters are likely to ban “lunatics” from owning guns

    In the U.K., if your mental health comes in to question for any reason your guns are taken off you straight away. I’ve had this conversation with a USAian and they say “what about that persons right to own a gun”.

      I think we should ban guns altogether. Failing that, I’d like to guns away from violently unstable people. But this Administration is constantly portraying leftists and trans people in particular as violently unstable, while turning a blind eye to white supremacists, J6 truthers and “patriots.”

      I have zero confidence they won’t include gender dysphoria and “Trump derangement syndrome” on the list of mental illnesses (states have actually tried this.)

      As long as fascists are armed, trans people must not be disarmed.
