When it comes to politics no one knows how people will act. Just look at what happened two weeks ago. The party of law and order just elected a criminal. So it’s just as likely that people will stand in front of that flame thrower as that single person has a flame thrower. Also I should point out that just because someone is against hunting does not mean they are not armed.
Every genration has had its “delinquents” wasn’t too long ago mobs ruled the streets.
