I  think of masochistic in describing trans people. That being my opinion I do not think their thinking rises to being denied the right to have a gun to defends themselves. I doubt if many are a threat to others. I see them as a threat only to themselves.

Documented mass shootings by trans individuals

Although definitions of mass shootings vary among data-tracking organizations, researchers have identified only a handful of cases involving perpetrators who identified as transgender or non-binary. 

• 2018, Aberdeen, MD: Snochia Moseley, a transgender woman, shot and killed three people at a Rite Aid warehouse.
• 2019, Highlands Ranch, CO: One of the perpetrators of a school shooting that killed one person and injured eight, Alec McKinney, was a transgender teenager.
• 2022, Colorado Springs, CO: Anderson Lee Aldrich, the perpetrator of a shooting that killed five people at the Club Q LGBTQ nightclub, identified as non-binary, though this identity has been disputed.
• 2023, Nashville, TN: Audrey Hale, a transgender man, shot and killed six people at a Christian school.
• 2025, Minneapolis, MN: Robin Westman, a transgender woman, shot and killed two children and injured 17 people at a Catholic school.

39 shot over five years through out the country. How many people are shot every weekend in Chicago by non trans bad people? I view whether mass or individual shootings come from bad people of many different life styles. It is not the weapon that causes the problem.

I agree it’s not the weapon.   But if a 32 year old man truly believes, feels, dresses, behaves, acts, and pretends that he is a 2 year old baby all of the time should he be allowed to own a firearm OR be considered mentally unfit ?

Who makes that call... ?

 

It could easily go against any of us, given the right bad circumstances.
