Senator Chris Coons just dropped a bombshell on CNBC’s Squawk Box, casually rebranding the Biden administration’s border fiasco as merely respecting treaties from decades ago—because apparently, an open border is just polite diplomacy when millions pour in claiming asylum. In his own words, this was the biggest policy failure, yet he frames it like it’s some noble adherence to dusty international pacts rather than a deliberate choice to unleash chaos at the southern border. Coons’ slip-up isn’t just Orwellian spin; it’s a masterclass in how Democrats pivot from accountability to victimhood, blaming ink on paper for policies that saw over 10 million encounters under Biden, per CBP data, dwarfing anything in modern history.

For the 2A community, this is red alert territory. An open border isn’t just about welfare rolls or job competition—it’s a direct pipeline for unvetted firearms flowing north from cartel heartlands, arming gangs and escalating urban violence that anti-gunners love to pin on law-abiding Americans. ATF traces show Mexican cartels gobble up U.S. guns, but the reverse flow is deadlier: smuggled Glocks and ARs fueling fentanyl ops that kill 100,000+ yearly. Coons’ treaty-worship ignores how lax enforcement empowers criminals who bypass NICS checks entirely, while Biden’s crew fast-tracks amnesty dreams that could flip swing states purple, stacking Supreme Court picks against Heller and Bruen. It’s no coincidence border hawks like Ted Cruz tie this to defunded ICE ops that leave agents outgunned.

The implications scream urgency: if respecting treaties means surrendering sovereignty, expect more ATF raids on FFLs scapegoating legal owners for cartel arsenals, more assault weapon hysteria amid rising crime, and a diluted electorate eroding your carry rights. 2A patriots, this is why we drill, stockpile, and vote like our lives depend on it—because under this spin, they do. Wake up, gear up, and push back before the border blur becomes the new normal.
