No he can't.

I'm a big fan of Leupold scopes and most of my rifles have one attached. The lifetime warranty is very comforting. I like the 2-7x33 for hunting and also like the 3-9 Compact for my lightweight centerfire rifles. I have the Vari-X 3-9x40 on a few older rifles and a few Vari X III scopes on my more expensive arms. I even have an old Leupold 2x on my Marlin 336 .35 Rem that I bagged at a garage sale in Arkville for $25 about 15 or so years ago. Still works like new. I prefer the matte finish on my hunting rifles to avoid sun glare reflecting in the woods and spooking game. It's true the prices for older Vari-X and VX models have gotten steep, but they are often found for the same price as the new Leupold Freedom scopes, which I do not like the look of very much. I also find the Redfield Revolution scopes to be good quality and the first ones were made by Leupold in Oregon, but not all of the newer ones are US made. Still, they are affordable if you want a good quality US made scope. Interestingly, a friend once recommended I try a Swift 3-9x40mm out and I was surprised how clear it was for the price I paid. Its quality seems to be very good for the money. I also bought a Swift 4X a few years ago that will be mounted on something, someday, as I'm starting to think a straight 4X will suffice for many of my hunting rifles and you can't beat the durability of a good, fixed power scope. They also come quite cheap compared to variables and Swift scopes have always been a quality bargain.

One must remember the 2020 riots by Trump haters was condoned and sanctified by leftist elites when they refused to stop them and stood by the criminals involved. This set a new standard for political protest in America. People believed it was now OK to become violent and destructive when pushing their agenda. The left created the atmosphere that caused the riot on 1/6/20 by allowing an entire year of lawlessness to go unpunished. To criticize the Jan 6th riot without condemning the leftist elites that fomented the prevailing attitude, is hypocritical.

You think they should be shot and killed?

That building belongs to the people.

One diminutive, unarmed veteran woman was murdered by a capital cop without cause. More should've been? Every anarchist and rioter during the summer of 2020 was freed when democrats paid their bail. The Democrats then pushed to have all of their charges dropped. Those people caused billions of dollars in damage, hurt thousands of police and murdered a few people. Many of these rioters were armed. The police were ordered to stand down. None were shot and killed except the ones Zimmerman took out trying to stay alive. And the left went after him with a vengeance as a sign of what they would do to anyone that resisted their tyranny. Jan 6, 2020 was a political protest where 99% of the people were peaceful. The rioters were unarmed and didn't kill anyone. Self-defense can only be deployed when there is a real threat to life. Only the cowards in DC were fearing for their lives, and only because they knew the election was stolen. Their fear was unfounded, and nothing was going to happen to them. The Democrats knew that in advance and did not call for any real security because they knew protestors would not be armed. If you support the government killing its opposition, don't think they won't make it their objective in the near future.
