Imagine a world where federal agents dodge death threats simply by... following the law they swore to uphold. That's the upside-down logic peddled by Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) on MSNBC's The Weeknight this Tuesday, where he pinned the blame for ICE agents' harassment squarely on the agents themselves. You wouldn’t have all these threats — to the extent you do, Goldman sneered, implying that if ICE just played by the rules, the violent backlash from sanctuary city zealots and open-borders activists would magically vanish. It's the kind of mental gymnastics that would make a contortionist blush, sourced straight from the clip circulating on social media and reported by outlets like Fox News. This isn't just peak hypocrisy; it's a chilling preview of how anti-law-enforcement rhetoric from the left could bleed into the Second Amendment arena. Goldman, a vocal gun-grabber who's pushed for red-flag laws and assault weapon bans, is essentially arguing that threats against feds are self-inflicted wounds from not following the law. Swap ICE for ATF or local sheriffs defying Biden's ghost gun edicts, and you see the playbook: blame armed citizens for defending their rights when federal overreach sparks resistance. We've already seen this with J6 narratives painting patriots as threats, while ignoring Antifa riots. For the 2A community, the implication is stark—expect Dems to flip the script on any future standoffs over confiscation schemes, claiming gun owners brought threats on themselves by clinging to their constitutional carry or refusing registration. It's a subtle normalization of vigilante justice against those enforcing—or resisting—unpopular mandates. The data Goldman vaguely nods to? Likely cherry-picked stats from pro-immigration NGOs, ignoring FBI reports of surging assaults on ICE personnel amid record migrant surges. This mindset erodes the thin blue line protecting all of us, including 2A defenders who rely on rule-of-law cops to counter leftist mobs. If threats are the agents' fault for doing their jobs, what's next—blaming concealed carriers for road rage shootings? 2A warriors, take note: this is why we fight for sheriffs who prioritize the Constitution over D.C. diktats. Goldman's gaffe isn't a slip; it's a signal. Stay vigilant, stay armed, and keep voting these logic-twisters out.
