I don't really have a position on the issue one way or the other, but it is insane how quickly this somewhat small issue (compared to stuff that everyone has been talking about for decades, like abortion) became part of the culture war, I already see "come and take it" memes being made.
When I was a kid I woke up with a massive headache, went down stairs and realized the stove knob was turned just enough that gas had been leaking out. In my half asleep and gas-exposed state I couldn't remember what direction you turn the knob and just flicked it. Luckily I picked the right way because if I had turned it the other way and lit the pilot light I imagine at best I would have lost my eyebrows.
