Buck Brief - Should Trump Ban Trans From Owning Guns?

of guns myself. And the reality is this is going to get very contentious with Democrats because they've been saying in the aftermath of a lot of shootings, but in this most recent one where a trans terrorist shot up a Catholic church full of kids, killed two of them, shot over a dozen, they've been saying, you must do something. You must do something. That's the refrain, and if you're not willing to do something, you're the problem. It's on you.

It's your fault that this keeps happening. Okay, well, let's take that then to the next step. Here we are with the Trump administration saying that they want to do something, they want to prevent trans individuals from buying guns. Now, because the trans community has been elevated by the left as really the pre eminent and ultimate victim status individuals in America today, to the extent that they'll say there's an active genocide and an erasure of them going on

in America. The most extreme kind of language, a genocide, a genocide of trans people, the erasure of trans people when you erase a person. What do they mean by that, Well, when you say genocide, we talk about ethnic cleansing. These are terms that evoke the worst crimes in human history of all time that's going on when it comes to trans people. Or they'll talk about an epidemic of anti trans violence. Where is that coming from? Who's doing this?

How many times is occurring? Show me the data, show me the numbers. I'm not seeing this. Why do they say it? They say it because they're trying to create a perception that trans individuals are under continuous violent assault, and therefore anybody who tries to adjust or stands in the way of any trans specific policies is part of that genocidal effort. Right, This is the moral blackmail that

they engage in. But on this issue, it's interesting to me because the prohibition that currently exists for people that are going to buy a gun is under federal law, a person is prohibited from buying or possessing a firearm, if they have been involuntarily committed to a mental institution or formally adjudicated as a mental defective, so a judge has said this person's crazy or they've been involuntarily committed

to a mental institution. Now, as we know, the bar to involuntarily commit someone is very high, and that's actually become a problem. I think a lot of people have seen this in recent years where it shouldn't be as difficult as it is to get people committed to mental because it's bad for them, it's bad for other people.

There is so much to see when you look at the data, the information on individuals who hurt themselves or hurt others, and they had been known for a long time to be a risk, It had been known for a long time, but they were severely mentally ill. Right, mental illness, I think to put it in this context is helpful. Mental illness is like physical corporeal illness in that you know a lot of people struggle with it at different levels. Everyone will have some mental health challenges

at some point in their life. Death of a spouse, maybe depression follows postpartum depression after a baby PTSD if you serve in the military. Right, there's mental health stuff that comes up that we know is just the result of dealing with difficult events or being people. And then there's stuff that is extreme. Then there's you know, being a paranoid schizophrenic. Then there's having a severe depressive disorder.

And and I bring it to the mental health physical health comparison because you know, we all can get a cold and that's that's okay, and you want to get healthy from that cold. But if you're somebody who has, you know, a severely contagious and deadly disease, that has

to be treated differently. Right, there's severity differences. So just to say a mental health issue that covers so much, just like a cold is a health issue and ebola is a health issue, but very different in the severity and how they should be treated by those individuals and how society treats them. Right, no one locks you in

your room. Well with COVID they did, but no one locks you in your room and you have a cold, but you might have to be contained while you're fighting ebola, and and that's fair, right, same thing with mental health. If you have minor anxiety, like about I don't know thirty or forty million Americans do where it's clinical level, but it's it's something you can manage, that's a mental health challenge. You should still be able to buy a gun if you are someone though, who is seeing pink

elephants flying in the sky that aren't there obviously. Uh. And you have severe schizophrenia if you've been committed to a facility, you can't buy a gun legally, and there is a prohibition against that. So I'm saying all this so that we can put into context where would transgenderism fall on this spectrum. Now, I know people would say right away, transgenderism is a who you are thing, It's not a mental illness at all. It was in the DSM file and the DSM four I think, I forget

the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders. It was there until pretty recently, certainly in the last ten years, I think, and it was under gender dysphoria and it was considered a mental health condition and since it has been removed, And so now you get to gender identity issues is what it's being called. Okay, Well, this is a conversation we should have out in public. Because if

someone is trans are they mentally ill? If they're mentally ill, how mentally ill, and how does that factor into the laws that we have around firearms. I mean, I've said this before. If I because I go shooting, I go to the gun range. And I'm also I'm a range safety officer, a certified pistol instructor. So I've spent some real time at the range, especially the last couple of years. And I'll tell you this, the everyone who ever who spends time in the range knows that there's always a

risk of someone doing a suicide at the range. And then there's the risk additionally of just because they can go there with their firearm and you know, take their time and they have the fire amount in their head. There's a whole horrible thing. But this does happen occasionally. And also they sometimes will take somebody else with them on the way. This happens rarely, rarely, but it can happen.

If somebody told me that they were struggling with heroin addiction and they were going through withdrawal, I wouldn't want them shooting next to me on a gun range. I wouldn't want to take them out to the gun range. I would say you're having some issues. I don't same way someone was drunk, I mean really drunk, not like had a beer. If you you know, a couple hours ago someone was really drunk, would you want to be the shooting range of them? Know, if they're impaired, you're

talking about lethal firearms in their hands. And we get to if you are trans are you psychologically impaired? Is your judgment impaired? This is the question the Trump administration's asking. YouTube may have a problem with me for saying this, but this is the discussion. This can be something that we can either talk about openly or we can try to have places that don't want to deal with reality shut this stuff down. But that is what's going on.

So even if the Trump administration does not see this through or maybe is not successful, because I do think there are constitutional issues with this right, you know, you'd have to pass legislation. It would be deprivation of rights before you trigger any kind of you know, specific if it's not if you're not adjudicated, how can you have

your rights taken away? And this is why a lot of really crazy people can still buy guns because they're crazy, but they were never committed to a facility, and so they don't have so it becomes complicated. But I think the discussion is important because it gets to this whole issue of well is transgender? Is being trans a mental health issue? And is it something that should be treated as a serious mental health issue that has public safety risk it heightened? I'm not, of course, are you saying

all trans people are dangerous? I know trans people, of course they're They're not all dangerous, of course. But you know, I also know a lot of people that have drug addictions. I still love them, They're still my fellow human beings. I still but you know, they got a problem. I don't encourage the drug addiction. I want them to seek help, right, I know people who are recovering alcoholics. And so when you're talking about trans where does that fall in the

spectrum of mental illness? How serious? How seriously should it be treated as a problem for society to tackle as we go forward? I mean, this is the discussion, all right. Our sponsor is preborn. And look, abortion is never easy to talk about, but we have to because it's happening day in and day out all across the country. Still, just because Roe Vwaight is gone. In fact, abortion's gone up since Roe v. Wade nationally. It's tragic. So we're

trying to change hearts and minds. And that's great, But how do you save lives now? How do you save a tiny baby in the womb today, tomorrow, next week. This is where Preborn steps in. They've been doing this for decades. They've saved hundreds of thousands of babies. Preborn says, hey, moms, no judgments. Just come into our clinic. It's all free.

Come into our clinic. Let us let you have an ultrasound again, free ultrasound, so you can see little tiny baby growing your womb, and let's talk about your options and the love and the support that you will get by having this baby from preborn. That's what happens. It's incredible. Over three hundred and fifty thousand babies have been saved

in this way. It's happening every day. Twenty eight dollars a month, you would be sponsoring one of these ultrasounds and one of these visits for a pregnant mom and crisis, and the numbers show overwhelmingly, overwhelmingly, After this process, the mom decides, I'm gonna have this little baby. You're saving lives twenty eight dollars a month. It's tax deductible too. By the way, dial pound two fifty and say the keyword baby to donate today. That's pound two five zero.

Say the word baby, or go to preborn dot com slash buck preborn dot com slash b u c K. So there's that. Now we have the Trump administration trying to fight through some crazy stuff going on with these judges, and I gotta tell you it's it's it's very frustrating to see the hashtag resistance judiciary continue to do what they do because even when they're getting overturned by the Supreme Court, which is happening with frequency, and they know it's happening, there is the time that is lost in

this process. They're trying to as much as they can run out the clock. And let me give you a few examples of this. For one, Trump wants an immediate review by the Supreme Court of the tariff decision that came down from the Court of Appeals because think about what this would mean if they're ruling his tariffs are unconstitutional. If that is held, there's almost a trillion dollars that's going to come in on tariff's revenue this year, or do we give it back? What does that mean for

his negotiations with countries, Well, we already know. Scott Bessen, this Treasury Secretary, has said that countries are beginning to back away from the negotiations. Countries are beginning to say, well, I'm just gonna wait this out and see because maybe you don't even have the authority to be making these deals.

This is a huge problem, huge problem. And you know, the Trump administration is relying on a nineteen seventy seven law, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which lets the president take unilateral action to regulate the economy during an emergency. Appeals court seven to four vote said that none of these actions explicitly include the power to impose tariff's duties of alike or the power to tax. Well, the Emergency Economic Powers Act sounds like it would include teriff stuff.

But point is, and four judges agreed with Trump just because this wasn't like a slap down by all, and four judges agree with what Trump has done. So this is going to have to go up to the Supreme Court. But once again you have these judges who are standing in the way of something that we've already seen now is a good thing. This is helping the country, This is sensible. And yet these judges, because they hey, Trump,

want to stand in the way of it. They just they continuously do this, and it is very frustrating to watch because yet, yes, we have respect for a system, and so there's really no way that we can sidestep any of this. We have to go and that's what Trump does. They always say he is a dictator, and his response is, all right, I'll see you in court. All right, our solicitor General, we'll present this to the Supreme Court, and then we'll abide by the system. That's

not what dictators. Dictators explicitly don't do that. So I just think it's really important that we all understand when they say that Trump's a dictator, they're just full of it, and it's crazy.

situation here. This one's even crazier in some ways. Trump administration is not allowed to cut funding to Harvard. According to a judge at Boston, Obama appointee judge, What a shock that is right? Of course, how do we know that was the case? How do we know it be a Boston Demomocrat appointee and sure enough, Well, let me talk about the case a little bit. I'll tell you a little bit about this judge's background. So the White House is going to appeal this, obviously, but they're saying

you can't take funding away from Harvard. So I just want to be very clear on this. Is it Is it then the case that this situation is it? Then the case that Harvard is entitled to taxpayer funds in what amount and for how long? Right? This is what you see. This is when the system is exposing itself that what's supposed to be a privilege is treated like a right as long as it isn't helping the right, as long as it is for the left or the

Democrat Party, then it is sacrosanct. And people have seen enough of this, I think to understand how far the rot spreads. But that judge, Judge Burrows. She also shut down Trump's travel ban in January twenty seventeen. She also presided over and went again Students for Fair Admission VI versus Harvard, which eventually made its way to the Supreme Court and found in favor of students for fair admission.

She's a lib commie propagandist jurist, and yet she's in a position to say that Harvard still gets billions of dollars. Why government grants aren't can't be changed by the executive branch. Someone explained it, says, it's the Administrative Procedures Act. You know, whenever you see a judicial figure in the Trump era rely on the Administrative Procedures Act. It's just I don't like it. That's their version of I don't like it because it's things like, oh, you didn't give enough notice

before you made this decision. Huh, I'm making the decision. They've had plenty of notice. It's been months. Nope, you need to give them more notice, says I the judge. It's crazy. And this is, though, what we continue to see judges who are just usurping the authority of the legislative branch and deciding that they are going to do whatever they can, even if they're going to get overturned at the Supreme Court, to slow Trump down, to gum up the works, to sabotage the machinery of MAGA. This

is where it is hard. Look, it's not unusual for new tech companies to find fifteen minutes of fame. Remember that open source AI model developed in Asia. I mean that was a big deal earlier this year. Well, they showed up strong and a company based in China with AI technology rival the well known AI chatbot and others. For attention, point here is AI. This battle is a battle for global economic and national security supremacy, and we need to beat China. That's critical. And America right now

under the Trump administration is making this a focus. This administration is preparing an estimated two point two trillion dollar counter strike to Chinese AI, what I call a Manhattan Project too, to take back our lead in the AI arms race.
