And the only dispute can be around how that is defined. Jumping right to political ideology is unnecessary.

In my mind, the simplest interpretation is: a bully who thinks "might is right" and that the 2A entitles them to intimidate, threaten, and silence those with whom they disagree.

That, to me, sounds *exactly* like "one of them" -- regardless of their views on a myriad of other issues (eg, lgbtq+ etc).
