Justice Department leadership is prepared to use its rule-making authority to declare transgender people as mentally ill and deprive them of their Second Amendment right to possess firearms, according to two Justice officials who shared internal discussions with CNN.

Deliberations at the highest levels of the DOJ follow the recent mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, an attack police say was carried out by a 23-year-old former student at the church’s school who may have been a transgender person or a de-transitioned individual. Two children were killed in the attack, and 21 others were injured.

      Set up snitch lines for snitching on trans people, get medical doctor loyalists to snitch on trans people, they can find out who is trans pretty easily, then use ICE to sweep them up.

        They have a corporation already doing this: setting up a centralized database for monitoring all citizens. It’s called Palantir (Stock ticker: PLTR). So, if that database can easily have a boolian value for transgender. Then, all they got to do is operate off that database for finding which transgender persons have a gun, check that database to see if the person is unable to buy one because they’re marked as Jew transgender, and consult that database when it comes time to round up the Jews transgender people for confinement in internment camps.

        Not saying this is anything but evil, but they are putting the tools of genocide together now. With this, they’ll label the undesirables with a gold star that people won’t be able to not wear, they just won’t know its there. But, facial recognition technology will be able to take care of any incongruities.

          Will they go after their own citizens at the same time as attacking Vzla, Canada, Greenland, Panama (take your pick) - what does Germany in WWII say?

      You would hope. I mean even the NRA came out against this bullshit! But I do Uber in a smallish town, and the shit I’ve heard…

      I look like the typical masculine “ideal” these idiots have in their head; y’all, well built, blonde hair, blue eyes. So they tend to over share. And I’ve gotten a couple complaints about “illegal driving” which is fucking laughable to anyone who rides with me, and Uber cause they use telemetrics on the phone out the ass, so they can see how my driving was.

      But I don’t just let shit go anymore. If you say something stupid I’m going to inform you of the truth and make you feel dumb while I do it. Recently some dude was gushing about alligator Auschwitz, and when I told him they are shutting it down you could see… Nothing, there was absolutely nothing behind this dude’s eyes.

      He also bragged about how him and his girl “are” Marines then immediately tells me he got kicked out of basic forrrr(drumroll please)… Selling fucking meth! These people vote.

    Where are the 2fa people howling to keep gun rights? They seem to be fine with this. Maybe their whining was never about guns at all?
