> No civilian you can see all tac'd up is someone you should be worried about

The kid who shot up Uvalde was wearing a plate carrier with no plates. It doesn't take training or even a basic understanding of the tools to cause a lot of damage.

I'm not worried about the regular at a gun range or the vast vast majority of the gun community, I'm worried about the subset of weird, isolated, tacticool posers who have done a ton of damage on the basis of people telling them "you need to STAND UP and DO SOMETHING".
