Don't care a bit that they are armed. I'm armed. I care that the climate is so politicized that a single X posting can become the seed of a mob (armed or not), particularly since it's well-established that disinfo ops from unfriendly foreign nations are intent on sowing division. When the perceived threat becomes real enough (que: "It's real to me!!") to justify violence, then violence will happen. The rhetoric is becoming angrier by the day and eventually somebody is gonna flinch.

As a well-armed conservative I've been guilty of joking that we'd win easily, but the truth is that America doesn't win when Americans shoot Americans.
