The Justice Department is discussing proposals to potentially block transgender Americans from buying firearms, sources told The Post.
In the wake of the deadly Minneapolis Catholic church shooting conducted by Robin Westman, who identified as a trans woman, DOJ officials are mulling options the Trump administration can take to restrict the 2nd Amendment rights of some Americans, sources familiar with the talks said.
Some DOJ members believe the move can be approved as a follow up on Trump’s executive order barring military service by transgender people.
One option could see Trump formally declare that people who identify as transgender are mentally ill and are not legally allowed to possess firearms, one Justice official told CNN.
This is a developing story.
