Yep. But my point here is that very few of us talking about this shit even know a single person who has ever taken a human life outside of a war zone. It's one thing to sit in a comfy chair and blather about your fire power. It's quite another to have actually faced someone down and taken their life. I cannot even fathom how I would feel if I had to do such a thing. I'm completely capable of it, as are all living beings. But the aftermath would be difficult.
To sit on a political forum or social media site and brag about your weapons and how much fun it would be to kill your fellow citizens with opposing political POVs is beyond my understanding.
