    That could be a tough sell for them now, to call everybody transgender mentally ill as a matter of course. The next logical step would be declaring all gay people mentally ill, then anyone with a fetish that is not very widespread, and so on.

    The gun rights people have been tooled to support Republicans with slippery slope arguments. I do not think they would support this at this moment in time. The administration is testing the waters.
