Wolfe and his fiancée, who witnessed the alleged assault, believe the attack was related to Wolfe being transgender, according to court documents.

      “Residents who don’t own a handgun but live with someone who does…”

      First fuckin sentence. Doesn’t apply to gun owners at all.

          And again, all you cite is risk of gun ownership, never ever once do you consider the increased risk of assault and murder that the LGBT community and other minority groups face on a daily basis. It outweighs your fears.

          But you pretended you couldn’t even understand such concerns in order to avoid even mentioning them. Conversation is over.

            Yes, in fact I do. The rate at which minority groups are at risk of violence is higher than non minority groups - sure - but: Guns make them less safe - they are more likely to die in the attempt to defend themselves, and dramatically more likely to die to their own hand and to intimate partners - which is why the household risk is relevant. Even though they are at greater risk of victimization, owning guns still makes them less safe, not more. Why are you pretending not to understand this?

              You pretended not to understand who I was talking about in order to avoid saying the word “transfolk.” You don’t give a shit about them. Conversation is over.

                And yet I have not avoided saying transfolk. I have told you I have great concern for trans people’s welbeing. I am the one who does not want to see more of them die to gun violence - unlike you.
