Those aryan shitbags may have picked a fight with the wrong fanatics. I know a small few DUers, out of ignorance, will want to conflate these two groups. But they're miles apart. The skinheads run on meth and racial cooperation fantasies. The 2nd Amendment nuts loathe all drugs except beer and oxycontin, have the decency to deny their prejudices (most of the time), and think any kind of social cooperation is a form of communism. Also, you don't see the gun nuts murdering Republican DAs.

On futher reflection, unfortunately, it seems that getting the gun polishers to go around shooting the Aryan Brotherhood is pretty near impossible. They prefer to shoot their mouths off. But it was a nice fantasy while it lasted.
