Well, you're not on "the other side" in my case. I'm more middling than anything else. And, yes, watching an entire documentary during my work day is definitely too much effort.
As for you carrying on a comment someone else had made, I didn't see that. Apologies. Nonetheless, my points stand, even if they're not directed at you. Just because some shell-shocked vet in backwoods, USA is ready to duke it out with the locals doesn't mean all vets with PTSD are going to do that. For example, I have an uncle who has PTSD and owns guns. I know he doesn't want to give them up, but I sincerely doubt he'd risk leaving his family without him to protect them over some guns. I'd imagine most dudes feel the same way. They'd take the diplomatic route, go to court, run for office, etc.
Here's the thing, "gun nuts" are crazy. People who would die before they'd give up their guns have to be a bit crazy. I mean, who is going to fight to get them back, to protect their families, etc. if they're lying in a grave? However, not every person who owns a gun is a gun nut. They may be enthusiastic, but they're not going to choose guns over their families. As for me, I'd insist I be compensated for the value of my firearms and then try to go about getting my rights back.
