NRA Opposes Trans Gun Ban

“The NRA supports the Second Amendment rights of all law-abiding Americans to purchase, possess, and use firearms,” it said Friday. ”NRA does not, and will not, support any policy proposals that implement sweeping gun bans that arbitrarily strip law-abiding citizens of their Second Amendment rights without due process.”

It added: “The Second Amendment isn’t up for debate.”

Gun Owners of America, a gun rights lobbying group often considered more hardline than the NRA, similarly expressed its opposition to the plan.

“GOA opposes any & all gun bans. Full stop,” it said in a post on X, quoting an article about the plans.

“The DOJ is actively evaluating options to prevent the pattern of violence we have seen from individuals with specific mental health challenges and substance abuse disorders,” a Justice Department spokesperson told the Washington Examiner.

A DOJ official told CNN that such a restriction is meant “to ensure that mentally ill individuals suffering from gender dysphoria are unable to obtain firearms while they are unstable and unwell.”
