The goal is to help participants “safely exercise a right that is effectively restricted from us by gatekeeping knowledge.”
A firearms training program for transgender-identifying individuals is being conducted in wooded areas of Washington state by a group calling itself “Moto Hooligan Firearms,” according to images and videos shared online.
The two-day course, promoted on social media by Antifa affiliated account Through The Static, includes instruction on gun safety, legal use of firearms, and different weapon types. Organizers say participants are taught “the legalities of firearms, firearm safety, different types of guns, and a firearm manual.”
The group frames the effort as expanding access to firearms training, with one instructor stating the goal is to help participants “safely exercise a right that is effectively restricted from us by gatekeeping knowledge.”
Messaging tied to the program claims that transgender individuals face barriers to firearms education due to fractured family relationships and discomfort in traditional gun culture. Organizers also present the training as a response to perceived threats, urging participants to learn about and “put into practice” their Second Amendment rights.
One of the people behind the effort was previously revealed by The Post Millennial’s Katie Daviscourt as Seattle activist Alex Randall, also known as “Squid Tips,” who previously shared footage of the training sessions and said his team is made up of “entirely trans people.” Randall has also promoted the belief that “armed minorities are harder to oppress.”
Randall has been linked to Antifa activism in Seattle, including anti-ICE demonstrations and the circulation of a hit list targeting individuals he labeled “RIGHTWING GRIFTERS, Doxxers, and Harassers.” Those named included independent journalists Jonathan Choe, Brandi Kruse, Cam Higby, and The Post Millennial’s Katie Daviscourt.
His social media profiles describe him as “a motorcycle evangelist, educator, and provocateur” and “a full-time himbo trying to aggressively change the world.”
Randall was also reportedly involved in a confrontation at the University of Washington last year, where he allegedly removed a sign from a table set up by Higby shortly after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The sign read: “Nobody should be killed over opinion. RIP Charlie Kirk. Let’s Talk,” referencing the assassination of the Turning Point USA founder.
One of the images of the training shows an individual with a scoped rifle. Some drew comparisons to Kirk’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson. Details recently revealed in an unsealed search warrant affidavit in the capital murder case against alleged Robinson said he left a letter for his roommate and trans partner, Lance Twiggs, stating: “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I took it,” and later messaged others claiming responsibility.
Trans violence, especially in mass shootings, has spiked in recent years. Trans-identified Robin Westman carried out a mass shooting agaisnt children at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He was born as Robert Westman and gunned down two children, ages 8 and 10, while injuring 18 others, some critically, as they attended Mass inside the school’s Catholic Church.
Westman’s massacre mirrors the actions of other transgender mass shooters in recent years. Audrey Hale, a trans-identifying female, killed three children and three adults at Covenant Christian School in Nashville in 2023; Anderson Lee Aldrich was a nonbinary male who shot and killed five people at an LGBTQ club in Colorado Springs in 2022; and Snochia Mosely, a trans-identifying female, gunned down three colleagues at a warehouse in Maryland in 2018, among others.
Some trans leftist accounts even celebrated the killing of the Catholic children on social media, claiming the act as necessary on allegations that “Republicans” are trying to commit “genocide” against the trans community.
Critics claim that Democratic officials and leftist activists have been encouraging an apparent surge in trans violence across the nation. One recurring element in discussions is apparel and stickers featuring the slogan “Protect Trans Kids,” often paired with images of rifles, knives, or other weapons.
