Well, no. Some citizens want to be difficult douchecanoes and make bad situations worse. Those citizens are within their rights to do so, by that doesn't change angry mob mentality from taking hold (of both sides).

Who is going to take his gun away? The very same State that hired and assigned him there? 😑 That would require a modicum of consistency from the government that has not been exhibited for an unfortunately long time.

This is not at all logically consistent, sound thinking.
