The display of firearms is common among members of the government, lawmakers and activists. Milei’s main advisor, Santiago Caputo, was seen on social media taking shooting classes. The fondness for weapons of the Secretary of Religion, Nahuel Sotelo, is also public, as is, among others, the libertarian leader Daniel Parisini, who a few weeks ago launched the group Las Fuerzas del Cielo (The Forces of the Sky) and defined it as “the praetorian guard of President Javier Milei.”

Looking at this positively, at least when that kid shoots you while stealing your motor it's more likely that it will be with a legally held gun.
