I don't know what your news filter is like, but these guys are far from comical. Yes, the first wave to arrive were a bunch of tubby Texans, but now they're going door to door in gangs of 'roided-up wannabe Rambos with full tactical gear and long guns, busting down doors and storming in like it's Iraq.
If you dont have a gun and you are outnumbered by a group with guns, ofc they are scary. They arent trained. They dont use tactics. Put them in a combat situation, an ambush, they wouldnt survive at all. The gestapo were trained in combat hand to hand, tech and fire arms. And that properly.
Take their armor and guns away and you once again only have "hubert your friendly neighborhood fascist"
Most of them are clowns, but a number are former military. And even then that's ignoring some of the real fucked up nazis who live in deep country
Edit: let me put it this way: you say if we took their guns away they would be nothing? Well, go take their guns away.
Whatever dude.
