I don't think 'feeling safe' is the goal so much as the understanding that the Nazis are making a huge comeback, and that votes and protest signs don't generally do a great job of killing Nazis.

Like, if you're going down anyway, might as well bag a few Nazis on your way out; or maybe you see some Nazis harrassing someone and you're a safe distance away with a rifle.

So... you could be part of solving a gigantic problem, but it will 100% not make you safe. To the contrary, it'll make you a target.
