#2 Sort of like killing Bambi. If Bambi was rabid...

#3 And the fun part will be the battlefield souvenirs, though one or two airsoft guns is certainly enough for anyone...

#4 Assassination to remove tyrants is just

What's with the sudden Lefty adoption of highfalutin classical Greek allusions?

When did they get all Patrick Henry-ish and start flinging rhetorical tropes about tyrants and such?

Or are they channeling their inner John WIlkes Booth?

Come to think of it, maybe this is getting serious. Where are these leftist pro-gun groups, exactly?

#5 If they do start a civil war, I can't wait til the first Antifa prisoners whine about the Geneva convention before becoming lamppost fruit.

#6 This is going to get very ugly and we all need to practice situational and spatial awareness and practice self defense

These people are no joke and they will be killing people for wearing red hats and supporting our President

#7 These people are no joke and they will be killing people for wearing red hats and supporting our President

We may have recently seen evidence of that. The "civil war" appears to have already begun.

#8 Yeah, yeah, go out to the local range and learn to fire a gun. Run up against veterans who've been trained in fire, maneuver, cover, concealment, small unit tactics with urban warfare, you'll just be a speed bump.

#9 I'm far less afraid of Antifa gun club than I am of an Antifa bomb club. If they follow the Weatherman's footsteps they could do a lot of damage and cause a lot of confusion.

#10 Ruprecht nailed it.

I'd add that they're also likely to follow the 1970s examples of their European predecessors, Roter Morgen and the Red Brigades, and start targeting judges and political figures, maybe some military.

#11 I wouldn't get to comolacent, the Dayton shooter was affiliated with one of the armed Antifa groups and was actually interviewed while participating in one of their counter protests.

Could be why the FBI has been.... "unable to unlock" his cellie.

#13 Re #8, and speaking of not-so-great war movies, I couldn't help picturing Goodman and Jean-Whatsit rooting out the Kraut sniper in Monuments Men.
