US EditionTrump DOJ is reportedly looking at ways to ban transgender Americans from owning guns
- A mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis last week resulted in the deaths of two children and left 21 others wounded, with authorities identifying the assailant as a 23-year-old transgender woman.
- Following this, senior Justice Department officials began weighing preliminary proposals to restrict transgender people's right to own firearms by possibly classifying gender dysphoria as a disqualifying mental health condition.
- These discussions follow earlier conservative claims that gender dysphoria is a mental illness warranting firearm restrictions and the Justice Department's broader efforts targeting gender-affirming care, including subpoenas for sensitive medical data.
- Justice officials note federal law requires a judicial declaration of mental defectiveness before firearm rights can be revoked, and several legal experts warn such policies would unfairly single out transgender people and face constitutional challenges.
- Data shows transgender individuals constitute under 2% of the U.S. population and are rarely responsible for mass violence, indicating these proposals could escalate discrimination without addressing broader firearm violence issues.
