Why is no one talking about Trump's son calling for a treasonous armed insurrection?

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218363259Hey, DUmmies, after the Hamas attack he's referring to DEDFENDING YOUR HOME FROM ARMED INTRUDERS. Duh.
But I brought it over for this unadulterated spew of stooped:

16. Shows us what Don Jr. does not know about firearms
The AR-15 is an updated version of the military M-16 that I carried (and used day in and day out) in Vietnam.
I have not counted but there are at least a dozen or more firms manufacturing the AR-15 and base prices run from around $750 to around $1,100. Which means there are differences -- not in the operation of the rifle -- but in the manufacturing standards and quality of the finished piece.
When you purchase an AR-15, most of them come with 2 or 3 10-round magazines. 20-round mags are common; I don't know of any gun shops that sell the 30-round mags but they are all over eBay, most of them Chinese knock-offs. I have heard and read reports of folks inserting a 30-round mag, loading a round into the chamber -- and the magazine falls out of the rifle and cannot be re-inserted, or, can be re-inserted but continues to fall out. The mechanism that holds the magazine in the rifle cannot carry the weight of 30 rounds.
At age 78, 53 years out of Vietnam and 28 years out of the Army, I can still disassemble, clean, and reassemble my AR-15/M-16 in the dark.
If Jr. even owns an AR-15, I doubt that he is proficient in its use and maintenance. He's a loud-mouthed fool - - - among other failings.
Ebay doesn't let sellers sell anything bigger than a ten round mag.
The other stuff about 30 round mags is pure nonsense.
