The gun isn't to fight the military. It's to protect against random acts of political violence.

I would expect more political violence had Harris won. With Trump as the winner, wouldn’t violent hate crimes be the bigger concern?

Under the first Trump presidency, there was a substantial increase in politically motivated hate crime. So the answer to your question is both are true. If your existence isn't a political issue, then you should still get armed to defend the people around you.

It's a stand up comedian. No graphic depictions of violence. No foul Language. No sex. Rated R so I don't get sued.
