Wow. Conservatives, meaning today mostly all Republicans, strenuously object to even the most common sense gun regulation. Mandatory background checks? No, they scream, you're coming for our guns! No no no!

Until it's a trans person, and then it's, "Take their guns! Take their guns! Take their guns!"

I mean, taking trans people guns or denying them the right to own guns would require, wait for it ...

Background checks.

But logic and intelligence dissuaded no conservative about anything ever.

Of course, it's important to point out that being transgender makes people statistically less likely to engage in gun violence, not more likely.
