*is* militarism of a sort, just aimed at your neighbor instead of somebody in a foreign country, IMO.
Advocating to change what troops do or do not do abroad, or opposing excessive LE use of force here at home, doesn't compel your neighbor to live by your beliefs. But threatening to put your neighbor in a cage because she or he peaceably chooses differently than you on gun ownership certainly does.
I don't care how you live your life; just live it to the fullest, and don't harm others.
