On Monday after it had been revealed that Nashville Covenant School shooter Audrey Hale identified as a man on his/her LinkedIn profile, we wrote that fanboys will “call it a product of ‘gender dysphoric’ mental illness but of course fall silent when asked to explain why that or any other psychological ailment shouldn’t prevent someone from buying two fucking AR-15s.”
Well it appears Ben Shapiro isn’t silent and would be happy to pry guns from the warm, not-dead hands of those whose “mental illnesses” automatically place them on their side of the perpetual culture war. You heard the not-really-a-man: “Gender dysphoria” should prevent someone from bearing arms, but not schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, clinical depression, drug addiction, paranoid delusions, or any other malaise that might drive a person to violence.
