From the New York Post: "Trans dad Robert Dorgan shoots wife, 3 kids in horrid ‘family dispute’ at crowded RI hockey arena as players and fans are seen scrambling to safety." Per the article, "56-year-old Robert Dorgan — who also went by Roberta Esposito — died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said." But not before shooting "his wife, three kids and a family friend in the stands at a high school hockey tournament in Rhode Island on Monday." His wife and one of his kids also died.
Related: "Should Transgenders Have Their Firearms Confiscated?"--Guns America. According to the article, Ammunition to Go surveyed attendees of the 2024 National Rifle Association Annual Meetings in Dallas, Texas, with this very question. Per the article:
When it comes to firearm confiscation for people who’ve had gender reassignment surgery, fewer than 22% of NRA members think these individuals should lose their firearms. About 28% are still on the fence.
This means that approximately 50% of respondents firmly support 2A rights for the trans community.
Interestingly, the oldest folks in the survey showed the most support for trans-gun rights. Only 18% of those 60 and older think gender reassignment should lead to confiscation.
On the flip side, almost one outta three (29%) of 18-30-year-olds think those who’ve had gender reassignment surgery should have their guns seized.
To be clear, the survey specifically asked about those who have undergone gender-reassignment surgery, so we aren't talking about someone like Corporal Klinger. At the time the Constitution was ratified, the law recognized that the rights of those of unsound mind could be curtailed, so there should be no Constitutional barrier to such a restriction. Be sure to read the comments to the Guns America article as they get to the meat of the matter.
