I have no doubt they are empowering each other in a sick feedback loop.
I had a friend that was always into guns but was normal about it. Then he started hanging out with this other gun guy. Within a couple years they were both psycho gun nuts. He started sleeping with a loaded the gun under his pillow. Even though he had a five year old son. To quote “He isn’t strong enough to cycle the slide so it’s ok …”
One my old friends became a cop. He would leave his service Glock in it’s holster on his belt, hanging from his computer chair. While his then 7 year old daughter and 9 year old son ran wild, with no supervision.
Did he forget that kids will go out of their way to touch it. I remember when I was a little shit, I did a lot of things I wasnt supposed to do. I only got caught for the worst ones.
I’ve cause numerous fires. Never a dumpster though. Back in the day, when my uncle was in HS he accidentally caught his hs library on fire after breaking in to smoke pot and return a book. So he’s got me beat by quite a lot. But my mother was a neglectful narcissist, so I became a master of illusion.
Edit: honestly, most of the times I fucked up was when I was trying to be helpful. Parents had a wall they started to paint and let go for 2 weeks, they went out one night when I was like 13. So I finished it as a surprise while they were out. Got paint all over the carpet. Bonehead shit but otherwise innocent. Other than the porn, that’s all I was ever caught with. I’ve ran from the cops too many times to count from ~14-24. Never anything real bad that harmed anyone, just general mischief.
Sleeping with a loaded gun under the pillow. If somebody wants to kill you, and is in your bedroom while you’re sleeping, then you’re going to wake up to a bullet going through your brain, before you go back to sleep permanently. A gun under the pillow doesn’t even make sense in the gun nuts paranoid delusions.

I noped out of the friendship after that.

Shit, I only got caught on the lamest shit I did lol. If my parents knew 20% of the shit I did…
Well its pretty hard to not get caught after causing a literal dumpster fire.
