Hey.

Yeah.

Yeah, in the making.

Yeah, I don't know what took so long, but hopefully that's helpful.

What's happened there?

Oh yeah, beyond.

I don't even know.

I mean, this is poorly trained, poorly vetted.

I mean, this is just people who are not behaving like law enforcement officers that are recognizable.

The most amazing thing about this killing, apart from how pointless and horrible it was, is the response or lack of response from the gun owners of America.

I mean, there's been a few tepid complaints from gun organizations, but we would be in a completely different world if this had happened under Biden or a Kamala Harris presidency.

I'm as astonished by this lack of outrage as by anything that's happened in this last year or so.

Because this, more than anything that has happened in my lifetime, is a complete repudiation of the Second Amendment.

We have millions of Americans who have been telling us for their entire adult lives that the Second Amendment is basically the central precept of their civic religion.
