If there's people plotting to murder other people over ideological differences there's a good chance the state will feel obliged to act against that first group, what with that being terrorism and all.

"I intend to fight you" doesn't automatically mean killing. We fight here all the time but no one dies and it's not terrorism.

I don't know that in the United States, debates or other competitions will often be held with AR-15-style rifle.

The cartoon is explicitly about using AR-15 for fighting.
Yes, this is called terrorism.

The liberal mentioned the AR-15, not the good guy. They seem to live in constant fear of AR-15's.

This is called a meme.

If you insist on taking it 100% seriously, it's a warning, and one that shouldn't be surprising given that it literally concerns trying to take weapons from people who don't want them taken.

A meme is the form. What the "good guy" ( 8O ) in the comic does is exactly making a terrorist threat over a disputed law proposals.
No better arguments?

Fight seems a bit strong, we disagree, we argue, we occasionally debate and probably bicker too. I'm not sure we even can fight in the the manner the cartoon implies.

Given that the cartoon is depicting the typical rhetoric over the idea of the government taking guns and how that might be resisted, it's fair how most reasonable people would understand it to amount to a threat of accelerationist violence, not one that you're personally making (at least, giving you the benefit of the doubt seems fair) but that's the general idea.
