Republican Complains Democrats Restrict Guns, But Not Gender Transitions
newsweek.comDemocrats over their push to restrict guns for Americans under 21 years of age in comparison to what she said were their views on age and parental consent when it comes to gender transition procedures.While speaking during a House session on gun legislation Thursday, Michigan Representative Lisa McClain said that she needs her Second Amendment rights to protect her children because of "soft on crime" policies in the U.S.
Seemingly referencing House-passed legislation that would raise the age requirement for purchasing semiautomatic firearms from 18 to 21, she said that Democrats are "making the claim" that those who can't purchase cigarettes or alcohol also "shouldn't be able to buy an AR-15.""But let's talk about a couple of things that the Democrats feel you are mature enough to do under the age of 18, because once again, their standards clearly aren't consistent," McClain said.
She added that Democrats believe minors under the age of 18 "should be able to change your sex without notifying parents."McClain's remarks came as U.S.
lawmakers are facing widespread calls to take action on guns in the wake of a recent wave of mass shootings, including one at a Texas elementary school that left 19 children and two teachers dead.
