    Saw tons of comments the last couple days about “Where’s the NRA to defend trans gun owners huh??!?”

    Well here’s your answer - they said 2nd Amendment rights are for everyone and due process matters. Sometimes being cynical is just hurting your perspective.

      Yah, there’s a large difference between cynicism and realism.

      They’re defending their market, not the rights of trans Americans. If they actually cared about freedom and the constitution they would be uniting every gun owner to march on Washington and demand a president who follows the constitution, you know, the whole THING the NRA was supposed to represent.

        I’m OK with the NRA not being hypocritical this time. Doesn’t mean anyone should expect anything from them.

        Well they arent a trans lobbying group. They’re a gun ownership and gun rights lobbying group.
