I would have responded earlier Eric, but my email has been moving all civic comments to junk mail.  Hopefully I'l have it fixed soon.   Yes, right wing militia's far outnumber left wing militia.    I'd just be careful to not assume that all gun owners are conservative, they aren't.     Many of the militia's are frightening, but some I would suppose are tying to provide a real service - I think that number is small though.  We also know that some militia's have succeeded in terrorizing small communities with threat of violence, although not many have acted with violence.

We're seeing what right wing militia's have felt, a fear of the federal government actions.     The harsh demeaning attitude of Trump may be mostly bluster, but it certainly amps up fear, intentional or not.        A parallel might be not worrying about a small dog biting your ankle as much as a Rottweiler eating your leg.    

The President seems to have little concept of the responsibility of public leadership.
