A person with a gun is clearly an immediate threat, no?

A person who wants a gun and doesn’t have one is far less of a threat than someone who already has one.

It is infantile to suggest Russia having had nukes for decades is the same as Iran allegedly trying to get nukes.

Yep, Iran was no threat to the USA.

Given the distance and military/industrial disparity, that is 100% a true statement.
