I don't have any horse in this race but... how ugly, dirty and bloody can this get in a state where gun owning and carrying is very common?

And I'm not even considering bystanders caught in crossfire.

How ugly can it get if someone decides to shoot on sight a gang like this? And other people join as they start hearing exchanged fire?

I wish anyone in this administration cared about faith in the military, because there's no way this doesn't create a populace afraid of its own military.
