By using vague words such as “acknowledge,” he carefully wordsmiths his way around making any explicit threats…but what his article is implicitly hinting at is very obvious - and very frightening:

"The right must unapologetically embrace the substance of the left’s complaint that the 2nd Amendment endorses violence as a pillar of American politics. …

"Instead of pretending our guns are only for outdoor sportsmanship…we should acknowledge what they represent and accept the violent responsibility they entail. …

"Guns kill people; they are made for violence. But this violent threat is and always has been the load-bearing wall of our house divided.

"Instead of begging the destructive and divisive left to allow gun ownership…we should acknowledge the violence implicit in arming ourselves for conflict."
