When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. [View all]

So it is with Trump supporters who own guns. They have it - they must use it. It's all they have. So, naturally, they would be supportive of a "civil war". After all, they have the advantage. They have the guns.

It is the guns that give them the false sense of superiority and security. They will resort to violence to defeat the liberals, if it is required. Everybody looks like an enemy.

The gun is their hammer. They are ready to use it to drive their enemies into the dirt, like a ten-penny nail. They have no fear of any opposition.

Their gun defines who they are and what they stand for. Take away their hammer and they would be lost. There would be no meaning in their lives.
