It is certainly possible that the rabid segment of his followers take to the streets and do stupid shit. However, we don't really know how many of those people really exist. Also, if they did resort to some sort of rioting/terrorism, I don't believe it will be things like rioting in the streets and destroying businesses (like left leaning rioters do); it might be more like dumb ass militia types going after government targets (like those jackasses that were going to kidnap the Michigan governor). Basically, in a Trump loss, stay away from government buildings. Again, there aren't many of those, so I think most of his supporters would just protest mostly peacefully and spread lies. I think the institutions of the US still have enough integrity to deal with that.

Democrats tend to be anti-gun. It's very regional of course. For me, I live in a very strong liberal city that elects democrats. All my neighbors fear guns (yes, and we are in Texas of all places). They also have no idea I own guns, and I'm sure they would be scared of me and never let their kids come to my house if they found out I own guns. I don't disclose that i have guns, because it's none of their business, and i keep them safe and locked up. Most people wouldn't be able to find them if they searched through my house.
I also find it comical that because I live in Austin, and I'm not white, that they assume I'm anti-gun. I'm VERY pro-gun, I'm pro 2nd amendment through and through. An Arm citizenry is wonderful for national defense. One of the reasons Japan decided NOT to attack America directly is because they knew every citizen was armed to the teeth with guns. I see the 2nd amendment as a nation defense tool. In a world were authoritarian regimes like China are gaining unprecedented global power, we need every man woman and child armed.... well maybe not every child, but you get the point. I do believe every house hold should be armed.
When you invade the US, you need ot realize you are not just fighting US military forces, you are also fighting the citizens themselves. We need to keep it that way.
I can think of 11780 reasons Trump shouldn't be president ever again.
