In a stunning plot twist that's got 2A advocates doing a double-take, Democrat Senator Chris Coons from Delaware just handed Republicans a silver platter of irony on MSNBC's Morning Joe. Coons blasted federal immigration officers in Minneapolis for violating the 2nd Amendment by—get this—allegedly disarming American citizens during immigration enforcement ops amid the city's ongoing chaos. Yes, you read that right: a sitting Dem senator invoking the sacred right to keep and bear arms against feds overstepping in a blue stronghold that's been a no-go zone for law and order since the 2020 riots. Coons even tossed in a jab at his own party, noting Republicans' usual fortress-like defenses of the Constitution, before demanding the feds pack up and leave town. This isn't just delicious hypocrisy; it's a teachable moment for the 2A community. Coons' slip-up exposes the selective sanctity of gun rights: when feds target illegals or rioters in Dem cities, suddenly the Second Amendment becomes a shield for armed resistance. Remember, Minneapolis is where armed CHAZ-style militants roamed free under progressive tolerance, yet now Coons cries foul when ICE enforces borders? The implications are seismic— if even a gun-grabby Dem like Coons can accidentally affirm that no federal agent gets a blanket disarmament pass, it bolsters lawsuits like those from the NRA and GOA challenging ATF overreach. Republicans should meme this into oblivion, forcing Dems to own their newfound 2A zealotry and chipping away at the narrative that only right-wing extremists care about the Bill of Rights. For gun owners, the real win is tactical: this validates state-level pushback like sanctuary laws flipping the script on federal authority. If Coons is right (and on this, he is), it sets precedent against any disarmament pretext—be it emergencies, red flag laws, or immigration theater. 2A warriors, clip this, share it, and watch the left squirm as their own words become our ammo in court and at the ballot box. The right to bear arms just got a bipartisan booster shot, courtesy of one flustered senator.
