For what it's worth, people are usually only inclined to take action after they themselves have been hurt so badly they have no other options left. I wouldn't expect to see any political assassinations until our grandparents are losing their homes, food gets so expensive people cannot eat, censorship has taken away comforts like porn, and unemployment is incredibly high
Once all of that happens and still no action is taken by anyone, then yeah I'll agree most gun nuts only collect firearms to LARP getting to kill minorities.
I'd imagine if some redcap went off their rocker and did something extreme against donvict, fElon, or one of their lackeys that martial law (or marshal law if you use donvict's spelling) would be declared and guns would be getting confiscated at quite a rapid clip. At least from people suspected of not being redcap enough.
Those deemed sufficiently redcap might be given some extra perks - just enough so that they are not wanting to do radical things against donvict. They would probably be pointed at out-groups and given the hint - or explicit messaging - that they won't be punished for anything they do against out-groups.
