    Maybe as a community group with sponsors of a sort. Or not.

    Love the name btw. I’m assuming that’s a Witcher reference.

      aw, thanks! it’s not a Witcher reference, but I’m glad you like it 🥰

      I do think community could be a way to help with this, but where is the time and money for that?

      I think the most likely outcome is that the influx of guns will have negative impacts like they do to other marginalized groups. It’s even harder to help the trans community with this considering we are more dispersed and less likely to live collectively or in similar areas, unlike ghettos where marginalized people of color are concentrated.

      Honestly, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for training and resources to be provided to all gun owners, considering the harms are not unique to trans people even if they are more intense for us - but again, it assumes trans people even have the time, money, energy, etc. to utilize that training.
