The irony that I personally am seeing is my stepdad actively encouraging me to get my FOID (Illinois gun card) card and acquire a piece to carry on my person.
He doesn't realize if I had one at all times it would likely get used to stop right wing #fascism if I had such an opportunity. He just so fervently believes in the 2nd #Amendment that he's blind to this kind of thing.
He's one of those individuals that believes if you just comply, cross the border legally, etc. that you wouldn't have any issues. If it wasn't obvious, I disagree.
