    And do we have an obligation to report them to the appropriate authorities?

    I can think of at least one person who's been laying low.... Are they working on their manifesto?

    Lying low? I can never conjugate that verb correctly.

    This country loves its guns...and its religion. Now that they are at odds constantly, which one will win this battle royale. Guns is a formidable opponent, but I’ve got my $ on religion.

    guns and religion have become inseparable

    They both need to be....constrained

    Something else needs to prevail over both.  Like common sense and science.

    Gun supporters dream of a day they can attack their government with their paltry weapons.  They salivate over it.

    Haha. Probably not.  But that is why they think they need them.  Some militia is going to stop the U.S. military.

    I don't know, man. The gun owners I know aren't that delusional. I don't think Americans should be too quick to discard any rights granted to them by citizenship, though.

    An armed population is a least a little bit of an obstacle to dictatorship, however realistic it might be to need it.

    I don't know too many people who are pleased with our current state of government/leadership. Do you trust the Trump administration to keep you and your family safe?

    i doubt the majority actually believe this; they just use it as a talking point to state their case.

    Just because you shoot doesn’t mean you want to hunt. This is another example of feel good legislation. 
    I remember going to Boy Scout camp in New York and my shooting instruction was a former drill instructor in the army who emphasized safety the entire time. I used some of those same techniques just yesterday as I taught my three ten year olds how to shoot in upstate New York. 
    Boy scout camp gives a lot of kids the chance to shoot when maybe their families don’t participate in hunting/shooting.
