If you have lived in the northwest for very long. and know very many Mormons, you know its more of a problem "if you show me yours, Ill show you mine". Taking their roscoes out during church meetings etc.
If you don't think they cant deal with violence, check out history, Johnson's Army,, Porter Rockwell, Morman Militia, J. Smith role in Federal government on death of US president, why the lower states in the west have such straight borders etc.The 3 military bases along the wasatch front aren't there to take up space.
Their church is also international, hard to tell the ramifications from that side.
