Gun-Totin' Left-Wingers Demonstrate at the Arizona Capitol:

[RenoV8]

Lite a pack of firecrackers and drop it in the midst of that fat bunch....gonna see a few wet spots and possibly some fly's appear.

As stated on this thread already, there are morons on both sides. I expect to see more left wing militias forming during the Trump administration years. I also expect to see a few terror plots being committed or planned by them as well; just like the Hutaree militia planned an attack during Obama's term.

What was that shootout at the protest march back in, was it 1981?

Anyway that was Pre-Utube days.

I'd expect that if it comes to a real shoot out today we'll quickly see some one's cell phone video posted by multiple sources. It would be sad viewing, but I expect I may have to brew a cup of coffee and view it a couple of times to enjoy and take notes.

Those guys with the airsoft replicas ought to be real entertaining.

I won't be entertained by it at all. The GOP cucks will never pass pro-second amendment legislation after an incident like that (at least for a couple of years), and I believe the turncoats will try passing laws to ban open carry. It will also be the perfect excuse to ram the terror watch list gun ban through congress as well. I hope and pray a shootout between a left wing militia and a right wing militia never happens. Here's a video of the shootout that the journalist mentioned in his article.

And how are we going to stop such a thing from happening?

I'm sure law enforcement folks in Arizona are losing sleep over this, but given the legality of doing exactly what both groups are doing & the volatility of both sides I don't see how it won't eventually happen.

The only solution that would work right now is to keep both groups well apart and pray a Greensboro situation does not happen.

Does Antifa have guns? No.

Are they stupid enough to show up at a large right-wing rally with an airsoft army? No.

Are the free speech/MAGA rally people armed to the teeth? No.

Calm down. Nobody's going to get massacred. The fact that Antifa paraded around with airsoft guns shows how powerless they really are. They're scared to death because they've been exposed as poseurs after the Right finally decided to punch back at a few recent rallies.

[Pittsburgh Pete]

I had my suspicions when they showed one kid holding what looked to be a pristine SKS.

Airsoft guns can be very realistic looking.

Pretty stupid thing to do in case somebody opposed to them decided "I'm your huckleberry."

[raxar]

Yinz were exactly right! It turns out that many (most?) of their guns are airsoft. Bolt-action milsurp? Probably real. AR's, AK's and SCARs? LOL. Poseurs. They've been outed. No wonder they didn't want anyone taking video.

I don't buy that picture at all. Why is every other photo of them so clear and that one all fuzzy? Also some of their assumptions don't make any sense. How do they know the AK is a 5.45? There are plenty of 7.62x39's that are set up exactly like that, and the angle of the drum perfectly matches that of a Chinese pattern drum that isn't inserted the whole way.

Because this is the real world and not CSI:Miami who has the Zoom/Enhance feature. When you zoom in on a low res image, you get an even shittier low res image.

Except here's the same picture, same size, but much clearer
