DOJ Leaks Discussion to Ban Trans Americans from Firearms Purchases
This video discusses reports of senior DOJ officials considering restricting firearm purchases for transgender Americans following the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting. CRPA President Chuck Michel explains the legal framework for firearm prohibitions, emphasizing that federal law requires individual adjudication rather than group-based bans. The discussion covers how such a ban could theoretically be implemented (4473, rulemaking, statute), the constitutional issues with classifying entire groups as 'mentally ill,' and the dangers of setting precedent for disarming disfavored groups. The segment also touches upon the broader mental health crisis and the importance of due process in relation to Second Amendment rights, referencing the Rahimi Supreme Court decision.
