    Nope, but that being said I don’t believe in the government being competent enough to do so in the first place, especially when there’s always going to be Republicans eager to revoke those protections.

    That being said, I definitely encourage trans folks to arm themselves because let’s face it, the government will not protect them in any way under the Trump administration. The second amendment applies to all Americans and sadly there’s a lot of bigots around nowadays who are more than happy to commit a hate crime.

      Then I don’t think you’re a libertarian. If you were, you would not believe that this is even a possibility. My understanding is that it’s a core belief that the government, by definition, cannot be competent enough to do things like that.

          Is it mansplaining to point out that you don’t agree with a core principle of your claimed ideology? Are you really that sensitive to the most benign criticism of what you supposedly believe?

          OK then. And here I thought you were up for an honest conversation. My mistake.
