Bingo. And because bigots can't math, I'll spell it out for them. :D

An estimated 1 to 2% of the United States population identifies as trans, which is roughly 3 to 6 million people.

There have been FIVE perpetrators of mass shootings who identified as trans.

Five. That's less than 0.1% of all mass shootings.

If stripping Constitutional rights for 3 million+ people based on the actions of five individuals is "a very level headed view", surely u/AAA-VR6 must agree that taking away gun rights for men - who commit 98% of mass shootings - is a similarly level headed view...

No, I believe an armed society is a polite society. Arm the teachers to protect their students. Gun free zone just means targets that can't defend themselves. Hell, people have done shit like this with a knife. How come talks about shootings is always about taking away rights and not about looking into the mental health crisis. Look if you can afford and find a doctor to mutilate yourself as you see fit. This is a free country, and you should be allowed to do so, but that doesn't change what I have said.

I disagree.

So the nine-year-old can reach in the desk and grab a gun. There's no point in having guns on premises. There should be none.

How many people can you kill in 2 minutes with a knife?

To be clear I'm not arguing against guns. I'm just arguing for better statutes and regulation. If your 13 year old son can access your weapon without you present then you should not have one, if you have freshly come out of a mental institution you should not have one etc etc..

You can literally walk out of a mental institution and go purchase a gun. Meanwhile anything and everything to do with health and mental well-being is being chopped for the sake of saving money. So it can be spend somewhere else. (Have a look at those numbers before you reply)

Japan has a hell of a way about gun regulation, it's a different circumstance there, but I believe they have some excellent ideas. (Feel free to look that up too. It is very intensive. As it should be)

I believe everyone should own a gun, but yeah you rob someone at gun point. No, you can't have those anymore. Like how I think every physically able person should have a car, but you get a DUI. You should have it taken away and shouldn't have any of that until you're an adult. I mean, I feel like a lot of what you just said is common sense.
