Right-wingers seized on the mass shooting at a private Christian school in Nashville on Monday to push anti-trans rhetoric after authorities said the shooter, who was shot dead by police after killing three students and three adults, was transgender.
Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) attacked transgender health care, asking on her congressional Twitter account: How much hormones like testosterone and medications for mental illness was the transgender Nashville school shooter taking?
Everyone can stop blaming guns now, the extremist lawmaker added.

On her personal account, Greene no stranger to pushing anti-trans talking points wrote: The female Nashville shooter identified as a man. So shouldnt we just blame white men again?

Donald Trump Jr. , the eldest son of former President Donald Trump, suggested that rather than talking about guns we should be talking about lunatics pushing their gender affirming bullshit on our kids?
Given the incredible rise of trans/non-binary mass shooters in the last few years by far the largest group committing as a percentage of population maybe, rather than talking about guns we should be talking about lunatics pushing their gender affirming bullshit on our kids?

In a second post, Vance pushed the thoughts and prayers line that is a favorite response of pro-gun conservatives to mass shootings.
In the meantime, say a prayer for every kid who lost their life and every parent mourning a child. Christ have mercy.
