Dupuis claims he’s a firm supporter of the Second Amendment, but feels that he can’t do his job without sovereign immunity protecting him from civil lawsuits when he goes beyond what he’s legally allowed to do. [More]

There are at least two cliche's that should be as well known and as often avoided as a cow pie in the middle of a sidewalk.
One is "some of my best friends are ...".
The other is "I'm a firm believer/supporter/defender of ... BUT...."
The "BIG BUT" is a powerful language usage in which a simple 3 letter word that allows a preceding declarative statement to be completely negated by the statement that follows.
"Dupuis claims he’s a firm supporter of the Second Amendment, but feels that he can’t do his job without sovereign immunity protecting him from civil lawsuits when he goes beyond what he’s legally allowed to do."
A third-grader can solve this riddle: so stop going beyond what you're legally allowed to do.
If that's unclear to you, get some more of that Highly Training™️ that you guys always hide behind.
