TBH I wouldn't mind if my LLM threw in an "Inshallah" every now and again, it would remind me how skeptical I need to be in its output. (Not just "Inshallah" - same thing if it said "God willing")

The 2A crowd has been really quiet this past year. Hell, Trump even said in response to the Pretti shooting that only criminals walk around carrying guns in public. I guess no one cares about government tyranny unless they're asked to
