There is a tacit assumption on the right that force and violence will eventually settle the issue in their favor and, indeed, that this is the only way they could achieve a favorable outcome. Conservatives have been losing intellectually and politically for 200+ years. At some level most of them know this, but the NRA and it’s sacred talisman, the civilian firearm, have promised a solution. They are badly mistaken in their blind faith that they have a monopoly on guns, let alone on the knowledge of how to use them but I fear that it will take an enormous tragedy to convince them of their error.
