No, 'Shooting people I don't like' is what a disturbingly large percentage of Trump supporters want. And far rights in general, honestly. I've dealt with more than a few here in Australia, including former co-workers, who believe that killing people for the crime of being a different skin color, religion or sexual preference is a bold and noble stance to take. I remember one co-worker who ended up fired who couldn't understand that his 'jokes' about 'fighting off the gays' were the reason part of the administrative staff wanted nothing to do with him and had in fact complained about harassment.
Trying a 'oh, both sides lead to shooting people' argument is flawed, and frankly, insulting.
