Undoubtedly. But they will stir a whole lot of shit while they're going down. If you think mass shooting are bad now, imagine if every single MAGAt becomes convinced they're going to be persecuted to "David Koresh"-levels and decides to kill a bunch of people on their way out.... I shudder to think the level of societal chaos this could cause.
They don't have that much power. It takes a lot (and a lack of sanity) for someone to "kill a bunch of people on their way out".
The most they can do is something like Jan 6th with more competence. Something like that requires organization, and the FBI is pretty good at infiltrating organizations who are trying to grow enough to make a difference. January 6th wasn't stopped primarily because it was done by the President, and the office (for better or worse) gets more leeway with laws.
