Most Americans have families and shit and don't want to go to jail for doing something violent towards a politician. This is, broadly speaking, a good thing, we really don't want any random schmuck vigilante to constantly attack politicians that they don't like.
I'm not going to judge the majority of people for "not doing anything", because what you're suggesting would put them (and a lot of other people, some of which are innocent) at risk. I'm certainly not going to risk going to jail or facing capital punishment to hurt a politician, even if I thought it was a net good for the country.
I'm definitely not a "second amendment" guy though, I don't really think most people should have guns.

Helloooo, have you already forgotten the topic you reply to? The guy in charge of public health want to breed bird flu. Do you think innocent people are safe?
- tombert 1y agoThat’s not actually relevant to my point. Most people don’t want to kill politicians and I am not going to judge them for not wanting to do so. I am certainly not going to go assassinate a politician because I do not want to go to jail. I am not going to blame someone else for not doing it either, especially if that person has a family.
