They would welcome the confrontation because the media would spin it as crazed gun nuts murdering "youths."
Bring it. It'd be over real quick, and those pushing Sharia law would quickly stop pushing it. All it would take is the beating/rape of one southern girl wearing Daisy Dukes and every Bubba wearing a Nascar t-shirt and toting a shot gun would be instantly at war.
My money is on Bubba.
