    There might be a momentary advantage where 2 come out of the gate strong, as they have their stockpiles of weapons and ammo they obsess over. But they’d peter out the moment their blood pressure and cholesterol meds get depleted and the everyone else rolls their eyes and gets to down to business.

      Fun/not so fun fact, the two counties in the 48 contiguous states with the most guns per capital are both in Idaho. Then comes Wyoming and Montana. Plus these states are statistically in better physical condition than the south. 2 loses in every scenario, and quickly.
