You're absolutely right. That is one of the weakest arguments I've ever heard. Thank God that you're the only one making it.
You can try and muddle the terms all you want, but if you're going to look at me with a straight face and tell me a single group of politcally minded people being armed not only doesn't carry
any threat, but the suggestion is one of the weakest arguments you have ever read? For anything? I honestly don't know how you can expect anything but a befuddled stare in response to this.
Just to be clear, and in effort to prevent any further word twisting: do I personally consider collective GOP gun owners a tyrannical threat? No, but I certainly consider them more of a threat to the political progress/process than I do as a revolutionary force protecting me from government over-reach, which is where that hypothetical argument stemmed from, so please don't try to suggest that I'm being hysterical or that I believe that gun owners are on the verge of armed revolt.
