Antifa Group Plans To March Alongside Pro-Gun Protesters In Virginia

[goatprairie]

Antifa doesn't have the balls to show up and cause trouble in a state where citizens are allowed to own guns.  There was enough people carrying weapons in that crowd today that the Antifa thugs knew it wasn't in their best interest to try and "milk shake" anyone.

I think many carriers, if they're like my older brother and his son,  tend to be fairly tough guys anyway.
Both carry, but both are nobody to mess with in a fist fight. My older brother is going to be 73, but I still wouldn't want to aggravate him.

I think you may have all misunderstood Antifa's reason for showing up.   Some on the left realize that only the government having guns might be as bad for them as it is for the ordinary citizen interested in self-defense:  there is a group called the Socialist Rifle Association, which, as the name suggests, consists of people who want the government to run the economy (or at least intrude enough to create a 1970's-Scandinavia-style welfare state), but actually see the point of the 2nd Amendment.  Antifa not really being centrally organized, I suspect the Virginia version may have a lot of SRA types in it.

"Us all?"  I do believe I said that, but nobody replied to it so I guess you didn't hear me, either.  It's entirely possible the VA Antifa clowns were pro second-amendment.  That said, I was expecting a bunch of Maryland Antifa idiots to be bused in to cause trouble.

Naw, the Governor aided by the media has spun this to say it was the Governor's pre-emptive actions that caused the rally to be peaceful.

He had it both ways, as peace was due to him and violence was an "I told you so".

Since when has any career politician hesitated to lie for personal gain? Lying is what defines them.

The funny part is that if anyone had decided to be violent, nothing the governor could have done would have stopped them.

That is the lie that is sold, over and over, that government can keep you safe.

In reality, the only person who can do that is you.

(Texas church shooting, over in six seconds, less time than it would take to whip out a phone and dial 911, vs calling the police...)

Sorry about that.  Lacking both the time and inclination to read every post on long threads, my commenting on the general sentiment on a thread can be a bit broad brush.

Sorry, didn't mean to come off all critical....

I always carry a four-inch brush, never know when I'm going to need it.
