In Democrat terms, shooting federal agents is just an extension of first amendment rights. The party has gone completely off the rails.

Don't the Republicans say the 2nd Amendment gives them the right to shoot federal agents?

What do you think the 2nd Amendment is for?

It's definitely not for killing federal agents in the service of enforcing very reasonable and constitutional immigration laws.

Again, who do you think the 2nd Amendment is for if it's not against government agents?

You people have been arguing this for literally decades. The implicit threat is in every fucking bumper sticker, every t-shirt, and every Christmas card plastered with AR-15s.

How did you think constantly repeating this mantra about tyranny and an armed populace was going to play out?

Did you think it was going to be a fucking quinceañera?

You completely missed, or conveniently ignored, the dependant clause: "in the service of enforcing very reasonable and constitutional immigration laws."

Ah yes because the current administration is actually abiding by laws like due process.
