Gun control groups March for Our Lives and the Brady Center are back in the news and mainlining delusion once again, this time promoting the mutilation of children in an effort to counter gun violence. If you think that’s hard to read, try writing it. In a Supreme Court amicus brief on September 3rd, the groups argued that access to gender transition procedures would prove “crucial” to reducing firearm-related homicides.
The brief was filed in United States v. Skrmetti, a case challenging the legality of a Tennessee bill prohibiting such procedures from being performed on minors. The document reads, “The FBI has reported a nearly 29% increase in hate crimes targeting transgender individuals from 2021 to 2022…These crimes are especially deadly when a firearm is involved. The number of homicides of transgender people nearly doubled between 2017 and 2021, and nearly three-quarters of transgender people murdered in the past seven years have been killed using a gun.”
Let’s break this down for a moment. First of all, a “nearly 29% increase in hate crimes” has little to do with firearms. Spraypainting an offensive phrase on a bathroom wall is considered a hate crime, similar to slashing tires or other types of property damage targeted at a particular group of people. In addition, saying that a crime is more deadly when firearms are involved is like saying a floor is more slippery when oil is involved.
When it comes to homicide, we must understand the term before we can reveal the misleading verbal gymnastics being performed right in front of our eyes. The Legal Information Institute at Cornell Law School says, “Homicide is a manner of death, when one person causes the death of another. Not all homicide is murder, as some deaths caused by another person are manslaughter, and some are lawful; such as when justified by an affirmative defense, like insanity or self-defense.” Homicide does not equal murder. It can occur as a result of a traffic accident or act of self-defense. There are multiple ways to make statistics work for you and preying on legal definitions and the lack of understanding associated with them is one of the tools to watch out for.
Consider the Nashville, Tennessee, Covenant School slaying of three children and three adults carried out by transgender murderer, Audrey Elizabeth Hale. When police arrived on the scene and swiftly dispatched the killer, that added one more to the number of transgender homicides in 2023. In light of the confusing nature of homicide statistics, why not isolate the numbers to actual incidents of murder? Keep reading.
You’ve read some voluminous-sounding statistics, however, what are the real numbers associated with them? I’m glad you asked. A chart depicting the number of transgender and gender-diverse people who were murdered in the United States from 2008 to 2023 shows an average of 27.75 murders per year from 2017 to 2020, with a spike in 2021 during the height of the pandemic and COVID-19 lockdowns, which saw homicide rates up by nearly 30%, to 53. A 2022 study at the UCLA School of Law Williams Institute indicated that 1.6 million people in the United States ages 13 and up identify as transgender. Don’t bother with the calculator. I did it for you. The murder rate among the transgender community comes to roughly .0033%. While you’re letting that sink in, allow me to put it in perspective. The population of the United States was roughly 333,287,557 in 2022, the same year the FBI reported 21,156 murders took place. That’s .0063% or almost double the rate of transgender murders. This is what happens when you use real numbers rather than cherry-picked timelines and misleading percentages.
Also, note the remark that “nearly three-quarters of transgender people murdered in the past seven years have been killed using a gun.” You can probably see where I’m going here, but I’ll tell you anyway. That statistic applies across the board, with nearly three-quarters or more of all homicides happening by firearm, a statistic not exclusive to the transgender community at all.
Believing that once offside, you might as well hit the quarterback, the amicus brief goes on with perjurous intent, “In the face of the ongoing gun violence crisis gripping our nation, ensuring access to gender affirming care for transgender youth is not merely a matter of medical necessity—it is a crucial component in our fight against the epidemic of gun violence that disproportionately threatens this vulnerable population.” If only perjury before the Supreme Court of the United States of America was a crime. If only.
The groups also argued some children who cannot receive gender transition treatments may kill themselves, which they said commonly happens using a firearm.
It isn’t enough to point out the Elephant in the room. I’m going to walk over and kick it in the shins. This is a mental health issue, and the longer we put the problem off on everything and everyone else, the greater an issue it will become. We are supposed to be compassionate and treat mental disorders like gender dysphoria, not affirm them. And before anyone wants to take issue with me for describing it that way, consult the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).
In any event, looking at the actual numbers, I can’t even fathom how something like this gets in front of the Supreme Court. I have demonstrated that no such disproportionate rate of murder against the transgender community exists. In fact, it is significantly less when you do the math. I have demonstrated that the percentage of homicides attributed to firearms does not draw a distinction when it comes to transgenders. Someone, please tell me why then must anyone lie, cheat and manipulate to such an extent in order to advocate for the mutilation of children, and what on God’s green earth any of it has to do with guns?
Mind your own business.
They are partially right about the link between those “people,” and violence committed with guns. They have been the perpetrators of a large chunk of the recent school shootings and other random acts of violence. If I recall correctly, the failed Trump assassin had those kinds of predilections as well.
“If I recall correctly, the failed Trump assassin had those kinds of predilections as well.”
Yeah there were some indications of sort of leaning that way.
The Georgia shooter was gay but leaning towards deciding he was trans.
The Nashville shooter was a hot mess of trans.
There was that Pulse club shooter too, and others.
There have been others. A medical research group in New York did a study a couple of years ago and discovered that ~70% of the mass/school shooters indicated they were ‘gender identity change’ leaning or just not ‘out’ yet.
The trans ‘ideology’ has definitely spread its scent in the mass/school shootings incidents in the last 40 years.
“A medical research group in New York did a study a couple of years ago and discovered that ~70% of the mass/school shooters indicated they were ‘gender identity change’“
Interesting claim, of course no citation.
But I did find this study which links mass shootings to toxic masculinity and violence:
New Research Highlights Link Between School Shootings and Violence Against Women
Research led by Nicole Johnson, associate professor of counseling psychology, finds that 70% of school shooters have perpetrated violence against women and can influence prevention strategies.
“A new study of school shooters over the past 50 years found that 70% had perpetrated violence against women, either before or during their attacks.
The research adds a layer of understanding about the attitudes and behaviors of those who perpetrate school violence and could help shape strategies to prevent future shootings, said Nicole Johnson, associate professor of counseling psychology in the College of Education and lead author of the study.
The study, published in the journal Psychology of Men & Masculinities, analyzed the profiles of 59 boys and men who perpetrated school shootings between 1966 and 2018 to determine the prevalence of violence against women in their histories.
The profiles were drawn from the school shooter database compiled by Peter Langman ’00 Ph.D., a researcher, author and nationally renowned expert on the psychology of school shooting perpetrators, who is also a co-author of the paper.
Approximately 89% to 97% of perpetrators of mass violence are male, and many studies have established links between mass violence and hegemonic masculinity—the idea that men are dominant and that their oppression of women is justified.“
well look at you Miner49er, pushing yet another left wing anti-gun funded study.
The part it left out involves this:
“A new study of school shooters over the past 50 years found that 70% had perpetrated violence against women, either before or during their attacks.”
The shooters perpetrated violence against women because they were mentally ill and hated biological women because the shooter wasn’t the real female gender they wanted to be and the biological women were real women – its a common occurrence with male-female trans, the hatred of real biological women at some level. It was called ‘toxic masculinity’ because the shooters were still biological males. In other words, they are trying to hide the fact of trans ideology in play.
“Majority of US mass shooters are cis men, not transgender or non-binary people
By Reuters Fact Check
March 31, 20231:30 PM EDTUpdated a year ago
“Further, the U.S. Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC), which studies all forms of targeted violence including mass casualty attacks, published a report with data from 2016 to 2020 (here).
The report examined 173 attacks in the U.S. that “that resulted in harm to three or more individuals in public locations,” Justine Whelan, press secretary for the U.S. Secret Service, told Reuters via email, and “three attackers (2%) were transgender, assigned female at birth, but were known to identify as male at the time of their attacks.”
Whelan said that consistent with previous analyses of mass attacks, “nearly all of the attackers,” or 96%, in the study were male, and the remaining five attackers were female.“
H.om.osexua.ls are an increasing number of criminal shooters and mass shooters. That subject has already been covered here on TTAG.
And they are so.cia.li.st pr.og.re.ssi.ve in their p0li.t.ic@l 0ri.en.tati.0n.
They are as intolerant as the Klu Klux Klan. They are the primary leaders who have worked to disarm the residents, of the states of California and now Colorado.
Miknber49er, you apparently once again didn’t understand context and its right there for you in writing with this:
“… told Reuters via email, and “three attackers (2%) were transgender, assigned female at birth, but were known to identify as male at the time of their attacks.”
Whelan said that consistent with previous analyses of mass attacks, “nearly all of the attackers,” or 96%, in the study were male, and the remaining five attackers were female.“
In other words (the context by stating “were male”), their 96% males were only classed as ‘cis’ because they were still biological males. The didn’t bother to examine if they were ‘gender identity change’ leaning or just not ‘out’ yet.
This is a problem for this study, because a person can be ‘gender identity change’ leaning or just not ‘out’ yet (like I said before) and can be their biological gender and still act as if ‘cis’ to fit in or remain secret about it and this study ignores that.
Yet another carefully tailored left wing study trying to downplay a possible trans ideology connection. The only study so far I’ve found in terms of school/mass shooters to explore this was the study I mentioned. You’ve seen it before by the way, I posted it before, you replied to it with your usual radical extremist left wing trick of out of context cherry picking stuff, dacian replied to it as well with his stupid. I saw no need to post the link to it again, especially now that posts with links are moderated thus interrupting and delaying discussion and posts with links sometimes don’t come out of moderation for some reason.
We are never going to be able to examine and address mental health issues if the left wing keeps trying to hide stuff with biased studies, this is not the only thing they hide.
So if we can’t blame it on the gender confused, what is the most prevailant association?
“New Study: Majority of Mass Shootings Linked to Domestic Violence
Authored by Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence state affairs manager Lisa Geller, the paper is the first to find mass shootings with domestic violence connections have higher fatality rates
WASHINGTON — More than two-thirds of mass shootings are domestic violence incidents or are perpetrated by shooters with a history of domestic violence, according to one of the first peer-reviewed research papers exploring the links between domestic violence (DV) and mass shootings. The paper also finds that DV-related mass shootings are associated with higher fatality rates than mass shootings unrelated to DV.
In the paper published in Injury Epidemiology, Lisa Geller, MPH, lead author of the paper and state affairs manager of the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence (EFSGV), analyzed data from the Gun Violence Archive between 2014 and 2019 to reach two major conclusions. First, that in more than two-thirds (68.2%) of mass shootings analyzed, the perpetrator either killed family or intimate partners or the shooter had a history of domestic violence; and second, that DV-related mass shootings were associated with a greater fatality rate. On average, only one in six people survive a DV-related mass shooting compared to one in three people for non-DV mass shootings.”
It is not a crime, since the brief is not submitted under penalty of perjury, but it is sanctionable. But I sincerely doubt anyone will bother to rebut this amicus or that the Court itself will take note of it.
So let me get this straight (pun intended). Boys shouldn’t be like boys because that’s toxic masculinity, and now completely unacceptable. They should be like girls and now we have mentally delusional boys with absolutely no coping skills. No wonder they think that killing other kids is even a thing. All brought to you by the left.
When I was in school 1965-1978 every boy had a pocket knife. We had fights, no one got stabbed, no one got shot, and no one got suspended. We brought our guns to school for rifle team practice in the basement and after school hunting. I wonder if my Long Island N.Y. high school still uses that range? Yeah that was sarcasm.
Maybe if our society would stop telling boys they are really girls and that that’s ok these numbers would go down. Just a thought…
Or stop punishing boys for not being girls. My son noted the teacher’s double standards in this back in primary school.
Worse again if you were a white Male because they were made to feel responsible for their crimes in the past of colonialism and white privilege.
No wonder kids are messed up.
Why do you think the USA is now being run out of Africa ?
Africans are terrified that we are going to turn their Warrior Sons into Prissy Little Girls.
I’m NOT kidding.
Judicial executions are mostly listed as homicides on death certificates.
Again, they are conflating suicides with homicides. The problem is that the statistics for transgender transitioning and suicide are just as manipulated as any gun statistics. While the doctors that drank the flavor-aid (and I am NOT one of of them) usually tell the parents of the kid that “they will kill themselves if you don’t say yes”. The problem is, it still happens, in some sources, with a higher frequency after starting to transition (read the David Reimer story, which is horrifying). I have long suspected that there could be some underlying physiological cause for this phenomena (such as all the damn plastic inside of us), but I am beginning to think it is purely mental in nature.

“…but I am beginning to think it is purely mental in nature.”
There is a reason its in the DSM-5 as a mental illness disorder called ‘gender dysphoria’ (which was until 2013 called ‘gender identity disorder’). And its nothing new for it to be a mental illness disorder, its been around a long time since even ancient Greece where ‘trans’ was accepted as existing but also recognized as what we today call mental illness. This is something the ‘trans’ community and those allied likes to downplay and hide.
Its insane to try to legally ‘normalize’ the transitioning of children like the liberal left wing wants to do, its basically murder or attempted murder by pseudo-science legalized.
Back in the farm, the young bulls are always kicking and bellowing as I herd them into the squeeze shute. My dog is always standing by, licking his chops in anticipation of my tossing him choice morsels. The steers are always meek and mild as they gingerly exit the squeeze chute.
This is what the gun control activists and the liberals really want. They want to castrate the sons of troublesome White, Nationalists Christians and mutilate our daughters so that we become extinct.
I would “think” these kind of “studies” would result in more dead or maimed confused kids. Like the Georgia boy murderer. “He’s quiet,has no friends or is effeminate”. I know of some guy’s who were mercilessly picked on or beat up over 50 years ago. I remember seeing one on the streets of Chicago 40 years ago. It wasn’t a pretty sight. A lot hits close to home as I have a messed up son in his 40’s with “problems”. I left when he was a baby as his mother threw all my stuff out. I did reenter his & his elder brother’s life later & did my best to be a good dad. He asked me if I’d teach him to shoot but he has a felony record. Especially hard in ILLannoy. Oh & unmentioned here that boy in Georgia had his mother call the school to warn them he had “bad intensions”. And daddy buys him an AR🙄😧
The character Doctor Frank-N-Furter was a transvestite, not transgender, and he used a knife and a zapper.
And all that great music is playing in my head now!
Great music?
That is an important distinction to make, you are correct. I just loved the pic for this article.
I think that the advent of transgenderism along with the current iteration of everything having racist undertones has truly increased the creative writing skills of so called journalists. If that was not bad enough, that type of creative endeavor seems to be bleeding over to lawyers.
The Gun Karens have it exactly bass ackwards… Mutilating children makes them suicidal (or homicidal), withholding the procedures is in their best interest. These kids are mentally ill and ‘affirming’ their delusion only makes it worse. In fact, the vast and nearly exclusive percentage of mass shooters are leftists. And leftist thinkin’ is stinkin’ thinkin’. If we simply put all the loony lefties back in asylums (like we used to do before lefties shut them down & put the crazies on the streets), and kept career criminals in prison, so-called “gun crime” would drop by 90%!!
If they re-offend, then we give them a free helicopter ride. 🚁🚁🚁
“back in asylums (like we used to do before lefties shut them down & put the crazies on the streets)“
Actual facts of history, Reagan cut the funding for community mental healthcare:
“The Mental Health Systems Act of 1980 (MHSA) was legislation signed by American President Jimmy Carter which provided grants to community mental health centers. In 1981 President Ronald Reagan, who had made major efforts during his governorship to reduce funding and enlistment for California mental institutions, pushed a political effort through the Democratically controlled House of Representatives and a Republican controlled Senate to repeal most of MHSA.[1] The MHSA was considered landmark legislation in mental health care policy.“
After Jimmy Carter and the Democrats had increased funding for community mental health services, Ronald Reagan worked to cut federal funding for these programs, ensuring that our communities would not have the resources they needed.
That was 40 years ago and we are now reaping the bitter harvest of Reagan’s neglect.
“In 1981, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) was approved by the National Congress and signed into law by President Reagan.[17] It included provisions that repealed most of the MHSA, discontinuing federal funding and the support for community mental health centers established under the MHSA. OBRA redirected mental health funding mechanisms and transferred more responsibility for mental health services to the states, reducing significantly federal funding for mental health programs“
President Reagan and his wife Nancy had their two long term family friends. A male ho.mos.exu.al couple, who slept over at the White House. The president made it a very public event.
Now try and find that story on the internet. Also the stories where ho.mose.xu.als screamed in public, that Ronald Reagan gave them AIDS!!!
“Reagan cut the funding for community mental healthcare”
First, funding actually wasn’t cut and community mental healthcare was still funded.. What Reagan cut were the funding through grants which was a horrible way to fund these things and it limited them because the states could not fund them fully with federal funds the states got because they were not under the states regional mental health systems.
At the time the individual centers had to apply for grants because they were not eligible for states funding them completely due to federal government involvement. Grants didn’t supply enough, because the nature of grants then were fixed amounts, and if you needed more you had to apply for another grant which could take months to get and you could only do so many so in the interim, for example, centers might be out of money and need to stop or curtail function until the grant came through.
But the effect of this by returning it to the states was they were actually funded from the states through federal funds given to states which was greater than the individual grants they received and more sustainable because they could be taken out from under the federal funding by grants to remove the blocks the democrats had put in place long ago when they decided the democrats should be in the mental health business. So by cutting out the grants type funding, thus removing the federal government, it actually increasing the money these centers got long term on a more routine basis because now they could be funded through the state. And that was the reason Reagan cut the grants and returned it to the states, so funding would be available to the centers funded properly instead of having to wait for grants, and the centers could be placed under the oversight of regional mental health systems of the states and actually increase their outreach into communities with more resources available to them through the states regional mental health systems.
MajorLiar,
Lying AGAIN, MajorLiar?? Go research O’Connor v. Donaldson, 422 U.S. 563 (1975) – YOUR favorite Supreme Court, the Commie klatsch under the execrable Warren Burger (with Thurgood Marshall, Potter Stewart and several other Leftist idiots singing harmony) ruled that it was UNCONSTITUTIONAL to involuntarily institutionalize the “mentally ill” unless they were PROVEN to be “a threat to themselves or others”. So, who was right, MajorLiar, Ronald Reagan (who you despise) or the Burger Court (who you worship)? If you HAD a mind, it would implode from the strain of your logical inconsistencies and lying.
SCOTUS killed incarceration of mentally ill, and you know it, and CONTINUE to lie about it. Go suck start a scattergun, you lying liar who lies.
The problem with trans is its too much about making trans seem like ‘unique victims of society’ when they aren’t and some way or another have a ‘right’ to force others validate them and let them do what ever they want to do. For example; some trans people with private health insurance that pays for ‘gender affirming care’ complain there is a ‘trans genocide’ because a tax-payer funded state system will not provide them ‘gender affirming care’ at little to no cost to the trans person and suddenly that trans person is framed by their ‘community’ as a ‘victim of an ongoing trans genocide cause they don’t have access to gender affirming care’ when they do have access to ‘gender affirming care’.
and its certainly insane that trans people are all over social media, and in some cases, in the news claiming they want to murder non-trans people or kidnap others kids to convert them to an opposite gender or male-to-female trans making insane claims of ‘My male partner and I have been having lots of sex trying to get me pregnant after having my operation and its not working, whats wrong?’
The whole trans thing is full of crazy and violence.
Grooming and conversion is the only way for their numbers to grow. And encouraged by teachers who see having “trans-students” as a method of score keeping and status.
As for lack of success, it might have something to do with missing plumbing.
You are supposed to give up your guns because h.o.mos.exu.als are uncomfortable with you having them. I remember them making that argument back on the 1970’s.
The government will use the fears h.o.mosex.ua.ls have in order to disarm you. Never forget h.om.osexu.als are .so.cia.li.st pro.gres.s.ive in their political orientation.
btw
The m.ani.fest.o of the covington kids school shooter in Nashville was released last week. And interestingly enough when I tried to post a link about that story, last on TTAG.
The link kept getting deleted.
You can download the manifesto yourself and read it. Just like I did.
Check out the Tennessee Star news page for the hateful les.bi@n ma.nifest.o. I think it’s 90 pages long.
People who are willingly mutilating themselves out of a deranged fashion trend shouldn’t be playing with firearms anyway.
We as a society should not be allowing them to mutilate themselves.
Just as they have normali.zed hom.osexua.lity back in 1973. Now all these years later, they want to norma.lize the mutilation of children’s body parts.
And make it legal for a man use a woman’s changing room. Or play in a woman’s only sporting event.
