Have you ever considered that you are crafting a subjective world around you that doesn’t exist? Nothing about this post has anything to do with firearms or the United States.
It’s a commentary on the need to respond to those who use force to dominate others, with force. The firearm, bat, or otherwise is a metaphor representing appropriate uses of violence (to overcome a fascist oppressor).
Being able to understand and interpret images and text is a skill you should have at least learned the basics of by high school, otherwise you end up misunderstanding the whole world and spend your life angry at things while everyone around you looks at you and thinks, “What?”.
Just because people think a military needs arms, that doesn’t mean they think their unhinged neighbor needs them. The 2A says a well regulated militia should have arms, not just any rando.
This wasn’t even a debate until recently. In the Old West every town had a prohibition on guns in town. If they didn’t need them, you don’t.
You need help if you really believe that. It’s not healthy to be that afraid. You’re not going to be a partizan in a righteous war.
I am related to many people who fought and died in WW1 and 2. I know Holocaust survivors too, number tattoos and everything. Do you know how many guns they have? Like 3 disused hunting rifles total. Do you know what they say they learned fighting actual Nazis? Live your life and don’t be afraid.
You don’t need a gun to feel like a big man. It’s a safety blanket for adults. Fear is the thing that will actually kill you. King George III and Hitler can’t hurt you.
Have you been living under a rock for the last 10 years? Antifascist groups in the US have been predominantly armed for a long fucking time. Are you so ignorant blindingly ignorant that you missed that, are you just trying to be deceptive, or are you just so far up your own ass that you can’t imagine people outside your cult would be able to defend themselves?
This has not at all been my experience. Most antifa groups are primarily anarchist or communist, which have never opposed arming people. Unless shit has been flooded by liberals in the last couple of years, I have no idea where this is coming from.
Edit: are these people actually doing stuff, or are these online circle jerks? Because the people who’ve been doing stuff since the 80’s are primarily anarchists. If this is just online circle jerks, yeah, sounds like liberals.
In Seattle, a bunch of liberals started a group formed roughly on anarchist ideas to resist Trump. They got thousands of people together and basically did nothing. Anarchists got together a few dozen people and actually got shit done. I don’t consider things like the Neighborhood Action Council or whatever the fuck it was called “antifascist” no matter what they may claim. If you are risking your lives in the streets, you know why it makes sense to be armed against these fucks. If your “antifascism” is voting, you’re fucked.
Alright, yeah, that’s fair. I still think the “you’re antifa thus you’re anti-2a” is fucking stupid and obviously wrong.
There’s a much more nuanced conversation that needs to happen on the left about guns. I absolutely hate liberals for making that impossible. They will continue to help fascists kill us because, even after everything, liberals still hate leftists more than fascists.

It doesn’t say that. It says “… the right of the people…” meaning the people have the right mentioned. The militia is made out of any rando.

You brought up Nazis. It was national armies and navies that defeated them, not randos with handguns.

Did you read their comment? They advocated for the use of force and violence although with more nuance than that.
That is because it is the only reasonable response. Only dumbasses think they can stop fascism “with open debate and better ideas”.

Socialist rifle association exists. Only neolibs believe they don’t need weapons to protect against possible tyranny.
