Look, every parent knows that sick feeling. Breaking news alert pops up on your phone. Sirens wailing somewhere. And that awful moment wondering if this time it’s your kid’s school. We’ve watched these tragedies unfold too many times. Each one chips away at childhood innocence. Each one makes our schools feel less safe. Now, after another devastating attack on innocent children at prayer, federal authorities are weighing something nobody saw coming.

The pattern is right there in front of us. Too clear to ignore. Too deadly to dismiss with political talking points. While politicians debate and activists protest, our kids keep paying the price. Why? Because we refuse to confront uncomfortable truths about mental health and violence. But hey, we can’t talk about that, right?

From ‘The Daily Wire’:

“Individuals within the DOJ are reviewing ways to ensure that mentally ill individuals suffering from gender dysphoria are unable to obtain firearms while they are unstable and unwell,” one source inside the Justice Department told The Daily Wire. The DOJ’s discussions center on the fact that those who identify as transgender suffer from gender dysphoria, a mental disorder. “Democrats have called for common sense gun laws for a long time. This seems pretty common sense to me.”

Following last week’s horrific shooting at Minneapolis’s Annunciation Catholic Church that left two children dead and many more injured, the Trump Justice Department is now considering something unprecedented. They want to block firearms purchases for transgender-identifying individuals. Sources within the DOJ say officials are exploring ways to classify gender dysphoria as a disqualifying mental health condition for gun ownership.

The Minneapolis shooting? It’s just the latest in a disturbing series. These attacks keep targeting Christian schools and churches. Two years ago, a transgender-identifying shooter murdered six people at Nashville’s Covenant Christian School. Three were children. The shooter specifically targeted that Presbyterian school. They left behind writings full of rage against religious institutions. Starting to see a pattern here?

A Different Kind of Gun Control

Here’s what’s almost funny about this whole thing. For years, Democrats have screamed for “common sense gun laws.” But they refuse to address our mental health crisis. Now the DOJ wants to apply those same common-sense principles to people experiencing severe psychological distress? Suddenly the left cries discrimination. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Justice Department seems ready to do something radical — put children’s safety first.

What really gets me is how these aren’t random acts of violence. They’re ideologically motivated attacks on communities of faith. Deputy Assistant Sebastian Gorka pointed it out on CNN. We need to examine “early warning signals.” We need to provide “mental health options for these individuals” before tragedy strikes. Makes sense, doesn’t it?

Protecting Our Most Vulnerable

Want to know what makes this worse? The failure of leadership in Minnesota. Catholic and independent school leaders literally warned Governor Tim Walz about security threats. They begged for funding to protect their students. What did Walz do instead? He was busy signing legislation making Minnesota a “trans refuge” state. Two years later, those same schools became killing grounds. Makes you wonder where his priorities really are.

Now Walz calls for special sessions on gun violence. He blames “the wrong kinds of guns on the streets.” But he won’t touch the mental health component. Not even a mention. This is exactly what’s wrong with putting progressive ideology over practical safety measures. Our kids deserve better than this.

Key Takeaways

• DOJ considers blocking gun purchases for transgender individuals citing mental health concerns
• Recent shootings at Christian schools reveal a disturbing pattern authorities can’t ignore
• Democrats’ “common sense gun laws” argument turned against progressive ideology
• Minnesota’s Governor Walz ignored security warnings while making state a “trans refuge”
