    But can you use that gun and expect to remain free? The new environment appears to be a manifestation of that principle “… in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, and out-groups whom the law binds, but does not protect.”

    As in: if you (justifiably) use that weapon in self-defense, will the US ‘justice’ system as it is today properly see it as self-defense, or railroad you into prison (or worse)?

    If I were in the USA today, that would be my very real fear. The courts are packed with ultra-conservative, Christian nationalists and there may be no protection for those who seek it there.
