Generally gun owners tend to lean towards the republican side.

I agree that they should. The govt is more cautious in handling crowds open carrying guns. However, most on the left are not gun owners.

This would be grounds to incite a civil war.
Also, the second amendment gives us the right to assassinate our leaders. Problem is, nobody is trying, except the fool who missed Trump.

Im an american who does not believe in guns as effective. They have bigger guns after all. Im a city boy though and do think gun laws should be local but never disallowed on private property where the owner allows it. I compare it to the old westerns were you had to give up your gun to the sheriff while you were in town.
people are cowards
Open carry is illegal in my state. I could be immediately busted for that and accomplish nothing.
Armed victims increase the cost of tyranical actions but modern warfare and thus miltia movements is not just (have weapon, intimidate or kill enemy). Honestly one of the failures of the defense of the second amendment has been the failure to modernize and includr other parts of warfare.
Honestly there is a mixture of denial in what is actually happening and support too
Protesters who use violence to protect their neighbors will be killed. This is fascism. We can't use force to defend ourselves.
