Rabid right wing nuts are not the only armed people in this country. There will be blood spilled when people of all political stripes have nothing left to lose. Even pre-Nazi Germany didn't have to deal with millions of guns spread among the population. Many may choose to die on their feet rather than cower in a Trump gulag cage.

It won't, as violence provide excuse for martial law / police terror etc. The left needs media more than guns. Nt lostnfound Jul 2025 #24
