I do get the idea of not projecting my own fears onto someone,respecting other folks freedom of expression,etc,etc.

But there is a PC idea that we are not supposed to judge...well,all things in moderation.

That can be a cop out,an abdication of the responsibility to excersize good judgement.

If I was selling hot dogs,it would be different.

All hypothetical,I sell few guns and when I do,trusted friends or relatives get them.

I'm a beard,jeans and tee shirt,boots ,rusty pickup guy.Sometimes Carharts.

Its OK to trust the voice in my ear that says "Bad idea"
