Trump administration apparently considering ban on gun purchases by transgender individuals

According to CNN and the New York Post, the US Department of Justice is considering proposals to restrict the purchase of firearms by transgender individuals.

These discussions are related to the recent deadly attack at a Catholic church in Minnesota, where the suspect was transgender.

According to media reports, the talks are in a “preliminary stage.” A spokesperson for the Department of Justice said that various measures are being considered to prevent violence by individuals with mental health issues or a history of addiction.

However, no concrete legal proposals have been put forward yet.
