64. He had a gun that he was wearing a holster at the time.

He had a concealed carry permit and was exercising his second amendment rights that Repubs claim are so sacred. He never took the gun out of its holster; The ICEholes saw if when they were dragging him into the road. They shot him 3 times and then took the gun, which they have kept and have refused to let local authorities examine.

Crusty Gnome and Co have been using the gun to claim he was a "domestic terrorist" who was planning to massacre as many people as possible. Because they're despicable.
