That would clearly be unconstitutional. Not that I trust the courts to recognize that fact at this moment in time. I suspect they cite some technicality to prevent it from being stopped completely while calling it unconstitutional.

I do not think the Federal district judges can even stop it now with the ban on Nationwide injunctions, I do not know how that would work in this case.

That was perhaps the worst decision the Supreme Court has ever made arguably. It will become clear in time just how bad of a decision that was.

    The people in favor of this law would probably try to file it under the mental illness category instead of using the simple fact that they're transgender.

    That could be a tough sell for them now, to call everybody transgender mentally ill as a matter of course. The next logical step would be declaring all gay people mentally ill, then anyone with a fetish that is not very widespread, and so on.

    The gun rights people have been tooled to support Republicans with slippery slope arguments. I do not think they would support this at this moment in time. The administration is testing the waters.

    I haven't read the article. But as soon as the news broke that the most recent shooter was trans, I assumed MAGAts would try to take away their guns, using "red flag laws" (the same laws they complain about because of potential abuse. We all know they are immune to irony.)

    Why the daily wire? Is there no other source for this you could link?
