What are the implications of using firearms as political campaign symbols, as exemplified by the actions of Kast and Kaiser in Chile?

In Chile, two far-right leaders, Kast and Kaiser, used firearms in their electoral campaigns, appearing in videos shooting at a firing range. This action, described as "repugnant" by other politicians, uses weapons as campaign symbols, invoking peace while generating fear. The strategy aims to convince voters that war is a solution, contrasting sharply with the past use of flowers as political symbols.
