    No more gun ownership for him, nor voting rights (in most states). He’s removed himself from the most important parts of political discourse.

    I agree with your sentiment, but neither of those matters to someone who a) doesn’t respect the results of an election and b) is OK with insurrection.

      Sure it does. That future traffic stop where they would have gotten away with a misdemeanor speeding ticket now turns into a felony firearms charge in itself.

      I suppose it could be describe as: their footprint for anonymity has drastically shrunk now. Any infraction under the law will be examined in microscopic detail not just by federal officials but even local law enforcement. Any consequence is now magnified 10 fold.
