    There is no escaping that sometimes violence is the only answer. It took that level of drama for right wingers to acknowledge what they have in common with progressives. It’s really hard for right wing populists to resist supporting murder.

      I’ve also seen more people realize that an armed populace can provide a check on oppression witpopulrequiring a revolutionary uprising and defeating the military.

      Having more guns than people means that the more people you piss off, the less safe you are.

      If ine nutjob with a gun wants a politician or business leader dead, they can be stopped.

      If 100,000 nutjobs want to assassinate you, one of them is gonna slip through.
