    These days, the prospect of political violence feels like it’s being billed as a feature, not a bug, to a large part of the electorate.

          Yeah…if we are invaded by tRump brown shirts…we can band together. Look, I am not a gun guy. I have a handgun because I was young once and it happened, it’s been loaded twice. A shotgun because quail are delicious and a 30-06 because targets at range were cool before I had kids. Not war weapons or comparable to a lot of my local gun fetishists neighbors. If the Right wants to talk about 2nd amendment and protecting themselves from the government…all I am saying is that it works both ways.

        The only reason the 2nd amendment doesnt says “The federal government shall maintain a well equipped standing army” is because the war of 1812 hadn’t happened yet.
