    I’m pretty sure neither of those says ‘acting stupid’ is an abomination worthy of death…

      I’m not sure “act stupid” is an idiom that existed at the time the scriptures were written. But “do wrong” comes close enough. And the implication of the term is that you’re engaging in some kind of threatening behavior, which would qualify you as one of “my enemies”.

        Considering they were asked if they had guns and not threatened with guns, I’m not sure how that was threatening behavior.
