Wolfe and his fiancée, who witnessed the alleged assault, believe the attack was related to Wolfe being transgender, according to court documents.

    And again, all you cite is risk of gun ownership, never ever once do you consider the increased risk of assault and murder that the LGBT community and other minority groups face on a daily basis. It outweighs your fears.

    But you pretended you couldn’t even understand such concerns in order to avoid even mentioning them. Conversation is over.

      Yes, in fact I do. The rate at which minority groups are at risk of violence is higher than non minority groups - sure - but: Guns make them less safe - they are more likely to die in the attempt to defend themselves, and dramatically more likely to die to their own hand and to intimate partners - which is why the household risk is relevant. Even though they are at greater risk of victimization, owning guns still makes them less safe, not more. Why are you pretending not to understand this?
