On the one hand, they're being irresponsible as fuck, making us law-abiding firearms owners look bad, and my gut reaction is to tell these jackasses to fuck right off.
On the other hand, while we do have some very good laws (licensing, safety training, safe storage come to mind,) so many of the firearms laws we comply with every day (such as suppressor bans, the whole idea of "restricted" firearms, prohibitions based on vibes etc) are absolutely idiotic, yet we comply with laws we know are objectively wrong either out of a sense of "I agreed to comply with the law so I must honour that commitment," or simply fear of legal repercussions. If nothing else, these guys have the balls to openly say "Fuck the laws, I'm going to do what I want," as absolutely idiotic as they are.
Perhaps their biggest crime is flouting regulations and general firearms rules that are safety-based, whereas if they possesed the brain power and awareness to act safely while instead openly violating only nonsensical laws, they may have been based.
Alas, they are not based, they are dangerous morons.

Gonna be honest, I'm actually a bit torn on this.
