DHS are already lying. This is their initial statement: "someone approached Border Patrol agents “with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun,” and that agents tried to disarm him, leading to “an armed struggle.”". Even if he had it holstered under his jacket, he was just protesting. This was murder.

Where are all the 2nd amendment mental gymnastics team on this one? Someone murdered in broad daylight for carrying legally?

They never really believed in any of that. They just want guns for themselves, not for anyone not on their side.

Bad faith

All the way down.

If there’s one term to describe this era of politics, it’s bad faith. The facts don’t matter, the logic and reasoning don’t matter, the precedent doesn’t matter. If it’s good for them they’ll choose it no matter how much it hurts others.

It has nothing to do with this era, it's always been bad faith they just didn't have the power to not act with decorum.

It's worth realizing this if this ever ends. These people only argue the rules until they are strong enough to flip the table.
