There is more violence from the right though.  We have to admit. The side that insists they can't fully rely on the state for protection are more likely to personally resort to force, just like they are more likely to homeschool their kids.

Geez, you doofus... I never said there is only ONE reason for violence. I said it's the primary cause of violence from the right. Also, the right is not more violent, though I will admit that the talk of it has become more commonplace.

I really don't understand the confusion. I'm not threatening anyone. I'm not condoning violence. At all.

All I'm saying is... with the over 200 million guns in the United States.... not one was present during this "insurrection". If it were a true insurrection - everyone would have shown up fully loaded, ready to kill. Didn't happen. They were just protesting... without firebombs btw.

I don't get the vitriol... I'm stating a fact. If the right wanted an insurrection - it would have happened. With guns, death and violence and we'd still be at civil war. That didn't happen - so stop pretending it did.
