Since this conversation concerns Jan. 6:
Anyone who thinks it’s a good idea to storm the Capitol in support of the President is either 1) an insurrectionist (most people would say “traitor”), which means they’re actively prepping for war against the state and probably should be barred from owning guns, or 2) a highly suggestible idiot, which means they probably can’t be trusted with firearms (or much else of consequence).
Since we have a 2nd amendment that guarantees the right of a well-regulated militia to bear arms, and the prevailing legal interpretation of the word “militia” is that it is synonymous with “citizen”, the idiot cannot be barred from actually spending his or her money to buy guns and the process of barring the insurrectionist from it is difficult. Cool, whatever.
However, we’re not talking about policy. We’re talking about opinion and whether opinions should be voiced. As I mentioned, one’s spending habits are a strong indication of their priorities. The people who stormed the Capitol and those that support them in that act are either insurrectionists or idiots. Idiots and insurrectionists that heavily prioritize military equipment are dangerous. I think voicing that concern is reasonable.
There are certainly Gravy Seals who condemn the crowd’s assault on the Capitol; I have family in that camp. My opinion that their priorities are out of whack still applies, but not strongly enough for it to be voiced in the same tone I’ve used here. Assuming you are also in that camp, I encourage you to take all possible precautions in storing your weapons and ammo, maintain a regular training schedule, and accept my rolling eyes when you talk about your guns as mere opinion.
