The Venn between 'sees footage of ICE and still wants to recruit' and 'gun owner' overlaps a lot more than the former and non-gun owners.

I'm a gun owner and think it's abhorrent, but c'mon: who do you think is stepping up to the plate right now?

I’d encourage you to be rigorous with this assumption.

The line between even folks who will cheer on a Gestapo on TV and those who would materially aid it in their own communities is bright and wide.

The answer to whatever perceived (unfounded) overlap between gun owners to potential ICE agents is not to encourage or condone more prejudice and ostracization of the people who do not fall in both categories via speech that lumps them in with the others anyway.

That's a very disrespectful way to recognize and appreciate them.

I’m sure there is more overlap between gun ownership vs non, but I’d argue the overlap from both groups is vanishingly small. Plenty of liberals own guns, and also a lot of people that would not identify as liberal are extremely anti gestapo. Even most of the original MAGAs are not in support of the current state of affairs.
