I think the Transformers take on the phrase was fitting:

The attorney said he had been given possession of the couple's hand gun. It was used as an exhibit in court following the incident and that it was not dischargeable.

Watkins said Patricia McCloskey knew the gun was not operable when she pointed it, with her finger on the trigger, at protesters.

"Its the intimidation factor that she could use in the act of self-defense," Watkins said.

The day after the search warrant was executed, Watkins said he gave the gun to authorities after collaborating with the couple and their defense counsel.

"I do know that steps were taken to render it safe and acceptable to use as an exhibit in state and federal court," said Watkins.

But Ammann said a key is the manner in which the guns are handled.

“Those protections would not allow you to aim a gun unless there was some threat that someone was coming towards them or attempting to get inside their house,” he explained.

Schwartz said whether the handgun operable matters because "the law states it needs to be readily capable of lethal use."

It's crazy how these Republicans just make up shit that is easily proven wrong. It's even crazier that most of the information proving them wrong comes from the government they are running right now.

FBI Releases 2019 Statistics on Law Enforcement Officers Killed in the Line of Duty | Federal Bureau of Investigation

According to statistics reported to the FBI, 89 law enforcement officers were killed in line-of-duty incidents in 2019. Of these, 48 officers died as a result of felonious acts, and 41 officers died in accidents.

Only 48 cops were murdered in the entire year of 2019. 36 of those deaths happened in the South and Midwest which are typically Red areas. To put it in perspective, cops killed over 1000 people last year. When you include accidents, only 89 cops died last year at all. That means cops killed more than 10x as many people as they lost on duty. This idea that cops are in danger is bullshit.
