> Only if you believe that no one has ever changed their behavior after recieving a death threat.

That is weakness and the 2nd amendment is a tool to fight back and secure ones self against death threats.

Get strapped, stand up and say "try it mother fucker".

Defy your oppressor, or be crushed under their tyranny.

responding with violence is also "being affected by words". It also enforces the point that words can incite violence.

Where was the violence in that response? It is merely preparation for threatened violence. Any violence must be done in response to only violence, especially if you want to stay out of jail.
