I assumed when you said “electorate that owns guns” you meant Republicans

I did but I said nothing of violence. Its the possiblity of it and if they can get the gun owners to support everything they are against with a cult leader, sky is the limit.
Is the cohort of “voters who own guns” more intimidating than the cohort of “voters who burn down buildings” ?
Lets look at covid lockdowns. Where gun ownership was high, lockdowns were nearly non-existant, or minimally enforced. Strict guns law states had the strictest lockdowns. Certainly not a coincidence. And its not a R / D thing. PA had a Dem gov and the lockdown was literally voluntary. No enforcement at all
