Ironic word choice, sincere feelings for most would be my guess.

Even the screechingnest gun hating liberal American will accept that trans people should be armed these days, at least while the Nazis sure as hell are.

US Problems Ig. In Germany, we have (too) many nazis and a few gun people, but the intersection between these two group is at least not as big that non-nazis have to arm themselves. Yet.

Unfortunately in the US many trans and trans-supporting people do view guns as potentially necessary. Glorification of trans murder is common among the right-wing here and they definitely are armed.

There are smth like 20M weapons in Germany AFAIK. Hunters, police, legacy owners, farmers et al, are among those.

Wikipedia says 1 gun on 5 people in Germany vs. 6 on 5 people in the US.

E: Still too much.
