Amid reports the Justice Department is weighing banning transgender people from owning firearms in response to last month’s mass shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic church, the National Rifle Association said Friday it will oppose any blanket rule that limits Second Amendment rights.
Their declaration comes after CNN and other outlets reported that Justice Department leadership is considering whether it can use its rulemaking authority declare that people who are transgender are mentally ill and can lose their rights to possess firearms.
The NRA is a lobby group for the gun industry, and maximizing revenue through gun sales.
This is a fucking golden moment for the NRA to get a flood of support (money spent on firearms) from the left.
They can use the identical rhetoric about the government being jackbooted thugs, but this time they’d be accurate instead of hyperbolic.
