They endanger everyone else and should be held accountable for that. They should be charged with manslaughter. This needs to be taken seriously, especially by the president, who is encouraging this!

People should be locked up and their assets sold and proceeds donated to the ATF, DEA, and FBI. We should also burn the Constitution, including its amendments, because that’s the only it’s legal.
