Pro-Gun Activists Push Anti-Quarantine Protests

“A trio of far-right, pro-gun provocateurs is behind some of the largest Facebook groups calling for anti-quarantine protests around the country, offering the latest illustration that some seemingly organic demonstrations are being engineered by a network of conservative activists,” the Washington Post reports.

“The Facebook groups target Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York, and they appear to be the work of Ben Dorr, the political director of a group called ‘Minnesota Gun Rights,’ and his siblings, Christopher and Aaron. By Sunday, the groups had roughly 200,000 members combined, and they continued to expand quickly, days after President Trump endorsed such protests by suggesting citizens should ‘liberate’ their states.”

This is so zombie invasion, but not in the way we would have expected.

Doncon blows his dog whistle and the, so-called "Gun Rights", (code word?) insurrectionists take it to be a call to duty as if they were Brownshirts getting a high sign from the Reich.

This has an ulterior motive behind it, but the virus itself may have other plans for them if they keep going this route. The detriment is that we get more dopey vectors spreading what we were trying to contain all over the place. How freaking patriotic is that? Not to mention using this crisis for any kind of political or other gain is deplorable.
