are the price of freedom, in return for the guaranteed right to be armed and dangerous, while accepting very little (or no) responsibility for that "right." The term "responsible gun owner" is an oxymoron in today's society because, unlike Second Amendment absolutists, responsible citizens don't live in constant fear, and don't want or need to be armed with a lethal weapon 24/7.

Dispensing instant and deadly "justice" for a perceived threat is so very Right Wing and Trump-like.
