Leftist thugs have Second Amendment rights, too, ya know

The New Republic: "Antifa Is Arming Itself Against a Trump Crackdown"

... many leftists and even some liberals are beginning to reconsider their feelings about firearms, joining a loose amalgamation of gun groups, from John Brown Gun Clubs (which take their name from the abolitionist) to the Pink Pistols (an LGBTQ group), Liberal Gun Club, and Socialist Rifle Association. Some of these organizations are moderate and traditionalist, others radical and revolutionary. But all share one implicit goal: to normalize firearms ownership and training among liberals. Some of their members hope such efforts will at least make Republicans think twice before attempting a massacre.

At least one organizer understands the paradox:

“We’ve got liberal folks, politicians and people in the media, saying, ‘the government is becoming a fascist regime,’ and then turning around and saying, ‘You can’t have your guns, we can only have guns in the hands of people we’re calling fascists,’” said Alex Tackett, the SRA’s 22-year-old president.

Second Amendment advocates have been saying for many year, even decades, "If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns." So is the Left coming around? It reminds me of what Robert Heinlein wrote many years ago: "Pacifists" do not really exist, when the wind changes, everyone will hoist the Jolly Roger. So no wonder that The Left Escalates Violence as Antifa Arms Themselves.

It is, of course, Trump's fault. After all, Leftists are men and women of peace and love -- you know, like the ones who commit more than two-thirds of all firearms murders in the United States.

And these men of peace and love and tolerance:

Ft.Hood shooter Nidal Hasan – Democrat
Adam Lanza – Liberal, hated Christians
Columbine High School freaks – too young to vote but came from very liberal families
Virginia Tech shooter, Seung-Hui Cho – liberal
Virginia Tech decapitater – liberal
Colorado Theater shooter James Holmes – liberal
Live on air Roanoke VA TV station shooter Vester Lee Flanagan – liberal
Navy shipyard shooter Aaron Alexis – liberal
Arizona Gabby Giffords shooter Jared Loughner – Liberal, hated Bush
The DC snipers back in 2003 – Liberals
Chattanooga TN Marine Recruiting center shooter – Democrat
Ted Kaczynski (the Unabomber) – Leftist
Occupy Wall Street – over 8,000 arrests, 3 murders, 2 arson, 10 plus reported rapes – a hardcore leftist movement

But remember: it is Republicans who are fascists.
