While the group of Americans who "believe in following the law no matter what" might partially intersect with the gun owner/advocate group, I'd like to add that there are apparently many 2nd Amendment folks who also believe in armed occupation of federal facilities, which is obviously super illegal.

Edit: Not sure why I've been downvoted. I said "apparently many" because I've made the horrible mistake of reading comment sections on articles about the occupation event, and there were a number of very vocal supporters in those comments. To me that constitutes "many" supporters of this position. Obviously I have no idea what percentage of total gun rights advocates are in agreement with the occupation as I highly doubt those numbers exist. In addition, I wasn't even trying to make a statement for or against the 2nd Amendment/gun rights, merely pointing something out.

Not "many." You are cherry-picking a tiny number of people against a backdrop of 300 million or so.

Why not respond like this to the comment I was replying to? doki_pen said "Many Americans believe in following the law no matter what". Might this also be a tiny number of people when compared to the whole U.S. population? Speaking of the population, there are barely more than 300 million people in the entire country. I doubt there are that many 2nd Amendment activists.
