Hope your son is doing well, but being shot at at gives one neither moral nor logical authority in political matters. I always though the Harley riding, gun toting faction of our American culture (to which I am born and do love, more or less) were generally libertarians, not suck ups to our current authoritarian, elitist right wing leadership. I'm no cultural relativist, instead an old style modernist, if you will. But that said, your talk of nukes counts you among the criminally insane, not the patriotic.
