Tech DC 9 Handgun (firearm model mentioned in 'Five Votes Down')

A named-only handgun model invoked by characters; the script supplies no visual or material specifics (no finish, dimensions, or caliber). The designation exists as an audible, accusatory label—spoken like evidence in a moral confrontation—rather than a handled prop. Characters do not display or touch it; the name snaps through dialogue and leaves reputational wounds in its wake.

S1E4 · Five Votes Down

The Cost of Compromise at the Lincoln Memorial

The Tech DC 9 is invoked by Richardson as an example of a weapon the bill has failed to regulate; its name functions rhetorically to expose specific, technical losses in the compromise and to puncture Leo's abstractions.

Before: Not physically present; exists as a named example in legislative bargaining that has been removed from the bill.

After: Remains a rhetorical instrument — invoked to justify Richardson's no vote and to shame the administration for letting it go.
