Well, that's really why they feel free to say stuff like that. The liberal/progressive movement's been pretty adamant about civilian disarmament for most of the last 50 years or so. There's no consequence to threatening disarmed folks who are out of favor with the regime.
Which is why I'm an anarchist. As long as there's a regime, somebody's gonna be out of favor with it. But my personal idealistic wickywacky aside, If y'all would just strap up like folks have been telling you for decades, this kinda shit might cool off. Why do you think when your side's in office, they're sorta careful about who they publicly rag on? Coz the hard right's heavily armed. Waco-style stunts will fly once in a while, but if everytime you step on somebody you get shot in the toe, eventually you run out of toes. Or, in this case, you run out of cops willing to follow orders. And, it get exponentially harder to keep it off the front page. Bleeds = Leads, yaknow. Bleeding feds make even bigger headlines.
The reason the antiabortion folks feel free to shoot at clinics and assassinate docs is because nobody shoots back.
