News of a potential plan from Donald Trump’s administration to block transgender Americans from owning firearms was met with an avalanche of opposition — including from major Second Amendment groups historically aligned with Republicans.

The National Rifle Association, among the nation’s largest and most influential lobbying groups, said “the Second Amendment isn’t up for debate.”

“The NRA supports the Second Amendment rights of all law-abiding Americans to purchase, possess and use firearms,” the group said in a statement Friday.

“NRA does not, and will not, support any policy proposals that implement sweeping gun bans that arbitrarily strip law-abiding citizens of their Second Amendment rights without due process,” the group said. Gun Owners of America, another major gun rights lobbying group, said it “opposes any and all gun bans. Full stop.”

1. Oh my, the NRA is standing up for Trans gun owners!

The NRA was also opposed to people with real severe mental illnesses being prohibited from owing guns. trump got rid of the Biden effort here when he took office

2. NRA to trump: Fuck yourself.

Whole different world.

3. NRA is actually resisting tyranny?

[Norrrm]

6. Tyranny with Trump's secret police?

10. No. They are protecting the Holy Gun.

12. Of course, gun sales are their main priority.

Their solution to every gun problem is more guns.

4. Thank goodness

This is a test for the NRA. So far they are passing it.

So far.

5. Well, Butter My Butt

And call me a biscuit! I didn't think that they were going to chime in on this one!

[Norrrm]

7. It would set quite a precedent.

8. Didn't have that on my bingo card.

In fact, based on their past actions, I was expecting literally the exact opposite.

Racists in California used to hang out at polling places in black neighborhoods with rifles, which was legal. When the Black Panthers started joining them with their own rifles Governor Reagan signed a bill preventing this. The NRA backed this bill, saying that “people” shouldn’t be at polling places with guns.

When black people have been shot by police for merely holding a legal firearm, they remained silent.

New marching orders from Putin? 🤔

9. Their silence when Phillando Castille was gunned down by a cop was unforgiveable

11. Interesting how quiet the NRA and the other gun humpers are in the face of

an actual fascist takeover, rather than the fantasy ones of their fevered dreams. Not a peep, except "don't touch our precious guns". They will gladly hand over their government.

13. "...to block transgender Americans from owning firearms..."

More bigotry, ignorance, and hate from Trump – the wrongheaded belief that transgender Americans are ‘mentally ill’ in conjunction with the mass shooting in Minneapolis.

14. They are affarid it will open the door to

ban other groups. And the govt. will.

15. The dim bulbs on the right will be confronted by the number of mass killings done by straight, white men vs.

massing killings done by trans people. I haven't bothered to look this up and make a count, but I'm sure it will indicate white men should be banned from owning guns before trans people.
