"The large cache of weapons they acquired and used proves they were willing to kill anyone who was not a member."

This is absolute hogwash. I know a LOT of people who enjoy shooting, many of whom participate in competitive recreational shooting events, and you would be absolutely stunned at the number and variety of weapons that many of them own. You would be even more stunned at their proficiency with those weapons.

A weapon is just an inanimate object, neither intrinsically good nor intrinsically evil. Possession of such items does not, in itself, demonstrate evil intent on the part of the owner, no matter how many of them he or she owns.
