Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I get the sense that gun control might actually be a secondary issue here. Maybe this is just me lacking in familiarity, but I don't get the sense that there is any significant risk to the current power structure from armed trans resistance.
I suspect that the bigger part of this is that it's gonna go against the second ammendment, and they are going to try to going to justify it by claiming that all transgender people are dangerous and/or mentally ill. Establishing that in legal precedent seems like a direct stepping stone to monitoring and legislating against them en masse.
agreed, the fear here for me isn't the guns, its the justification for taking them away.
you fail to apprehend that fascists are mewling cowards terrified of doing their pogroms on any group they think liable to have guns
Well tough shit for them because 3d printers exist
Fascists are weird. They both are paranoid that any member of a group on their shit list will be the modern day Spartacus and come after them for revenge…thus justifying further oppression. However, when any minority group does so. They’re genuinely dumbfounded when people retaliate.
Be that as it may, I get the sense that the main motivation here isn't fear of retaliation, but that of making the trans individual one that is legally recognized as pathological and hazardous to society.
Exactly right. They are setting precedents now to use when shit hits the fan. Full on Nazi shit they plan.
