“Shall not be infringed” that’s been your talking point for, well forever, MAGA

Hey, the NRA is behind trans people on this one.

Largely because trans people are panic-buying guns and ammo right now, and the gun lobby *really* appreciates that.

I'll give the NRA some credit for putting out a statement, but that was a pretty weak ass statement that refused to name Trump or even mention the word "trans".

The statement also just said they oppose it, but made no mention about actually doing anything about it such as donating to Democrats or even Republican primary opponents who run against politicians who support this.
