Think they would spark anything that would result in a major accomplishment. It would just be pockets of bedlam that would quickly be slapped down if anyone up the chain got really serious about protecting the average citizen from these loons.

It's the same faulty reasoning used in Second Amendment arguments to access AR-15s and the like so impromptu militias can keep the government in check. I don't care how many touchdowns you scored in the JV Homecoming game; you and your pot-bellied hunting camp buddies aren't keeping a bunch of Devil Dogs at bay, Bubba.
