DOJ Leaks Discussion to Ban Trans Americans from Firearms Purchases

Is it lawful—or moral—to classify an entire group as “mentally ill” and strip rights? Reports say senior DOJ officials discussed restricting firearms for transgender Americans after the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting. CRPA President Chuck Michel joins us to unpack what federal law actually requires (individual adjudication), how something like this could or couldn’t be implemented (4473, rulemaking, statute), and why group-based bans are a constitutional red line with dangerous precedent.
