    Have you never heard “an armed society is a polite one?

    Case in point:

    https://lawandcrime.com/crime/i-will-personally-pluck-out-her-eyes-man-who-threatened-to-light-kamala-harris-on-fire-is-baffled-feds-were-at-his-door-over-a-comment-complaint-alleges/

    A Winchester, Virginia, man who vowed to light Vice President Kamala Harris on fire and “personally pluck out her eyes” reacted with surprise when investigators showed up at his door “over a comment,” a federal complaint alleges.

    Investigators said that Carillo in one post said Harris doesn’t “have a snowballs chance in hell which is exactly where you’re going and soon,” adding “I will cut your eyes out of your F—ING head” and “will make sure you suffer a slow agonizing death[.]” ** In another post, he allegedly said he would “personally” set Harris on fire “if no one else does[.]” In a third post, Carillo allegedly said Harris is “going to regret ever trying to become president because if that ever happened I will personally pluck out her eyes with a pair of pliers but first I will shoot and kill everyone that gets in my way that is a f** promise.”**

    Carillo allegedly said he owned a pistol and an AR-15 and made remarks of surprise about the reason for the law enforcement visit.

    This armed man was so polite he was confused about why agents would show up at his door over a simple “comment”

      Again, whether it’s true makes no difference because we’re discussing intent to go shoot someone, so if he believes it to be true (or any of the others I listed) then your claim that it is a fact he intended to shoot someone is really just a supposition.

        your claim that it is a fact he intended to shoot someone is really just a supposition.

        So your defense is he’s too stupid and ignorant and shouldn’t have been allowed around a gun in the first place?

          He’s probably too stupid to own a gun or be allowed around one. I’m not sure what this has to do with your claim that he intended to shoot someone.
