Should "transgender" people be legally allowed to own firearms?

should be in asylums to begin with so no

The second amendment says all Americans shall hold the right to bear arms. It's cut and dry.

And yet the Court has consistently allowed some level of reasonable restrictions. People that are mentally ill and interdicted are not allowed to own them, for instance.

Trans people are mentally ill.

I just used the word "transgender" for convenience.
We already have in laws in place, that in theory, prevent mentally ill people from legally obtaining firearms.

They are very specific and can only be very narrowly applied to a very small number of cases of people with mental health issues. A judge with input from a medical professional are involved in these cases where a person is declared by court as unfit to own a firearm. There isnt some blanket law that strips a certain class of mentally ill folks from owning firearms.

The 4473 specifically has questions regarding felons, drug users, and the mentally ill.

Yes.

That’s a slippery slope once you stop allowing all Americans the right to bear arms.

Unless they have violated some sort of federal or felony to criminal statute, then unfortunately i would have to i am not gonna violate their constitutional right.

Would not make me any better to say no

Pretty much how SCOTUS ruled...

for good reason. They are mentally unwell freaks that are a scourge on society.

probably stand no chance is a real fight. Let them have the capacity to defend themselves.

so we make laws now based on evening out the odds of a group being able to win a fight? Well that's....a new one.

How do they define "mentally ill" when determining whether or not someone should own guns? Is it the type of treatment, certain medications, Dr has to specifically state it? Honest questions as I have no idea and it has been way too many years since I had to fill out one of those forms while purchasing a gun.

The scope of that definition will decide if someone that is having a mental health crisis about their gender would qualify as a person that should not be able to acquire a firearm.

Then the next question is, what are the definitions of "mentally ill" that would require someone to turn in the guns. And then, the definitions that would require everyone in the household to then turn in theirs (a lot of these high-profile shootings involve the mentally ill person using someone else's guns)
