I’m not advocating for that, but as the prior poster said, “Sooner or later someone is going to defend their home against these goons, using lethal force” and they’ll use that as pretext to increase the boldness and spread of their violence. At that point with a totalitarian state, what recourse to the law remains?

You could look at Renee Good and see that they need no pretext at all to shoot and kill without repercussions. “Don’t feed the troll” isn’t a great strategy when it’s already gnawing on your leg.
