re: #352 lawhawk
Security decisions ultimately come from the USSS; they donβt want firearms in the hands of anyone other than law enforcement and USSS when it comes to protecting their principal - Trump.
A mere excuse. They are not standing on principle. They could tell the Secret Service that their concerns are unwarranted. They are hypocrites, and the Democrats should hammer them on it.
(Note: I edited my remark above this one to add some information.)
