Anti-Trans Rhetoric Helps the Right Pivot to Gun Violence Myths, Sell Guns

America is in the grip of a gun violence epidemic. On average, American young people know at least one person who has been injured or killed by a gun, according to a 2024 report from SPLC, Everytown for Gun Safety, and the Polarization & Extremism Research & Innovation Lab (PERIL). Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows โ€œfirearm injuries were the leading cause of death among children and teensโ€ in the U.S. in 2020 and 2021. Research also shows gun violence in the United States disproportionately affects LGBTQ+ people.
