So not only are they armed, that makes them a whole lot smarter than the white supremacists.

Will they suddenly flip on the right to keep and bear arms? Or suddenly develop an appreciation for that whole "well regulated militia" nonsense? Prolly not.

Please tell me how? When I saw this I was reminded of the patriots with the long guns spitting in the faces of LEO's and it was all about wearing a mask. How does wearing a mask compare with owning human flesh and deserting your country? What am I missing?

Isn't the Boogaloo wet dream to get in a shooting war with black people? The white wingers probably want to see black people armed like this so it gives them an excuse to shoot at the black people--the old "I feared for my life" excuse.

of the AA's marching with their firearms are probably combat veterans with multiple combat tours under their belts and don't get intimidated at the site of these racist white wingers, in fact, it's the white wingers that are intimidated at the sight of AA's standing up for their rights.

Good for them.

They don’t really want any of that action. They only feel manly with unarmed opposition.

Conjobs have blocked many gun control bills designed to protect people from the lunatics. They laugh and root for those RWNJs marching all over the country with their guns. They want us to fear them because they think they are the only ones with guns, but brave people like these have shown them that us Liberals aren't all defenseless. It's about time we give these Cons some of their own medicine.

Like Reagan did in California when the black "radicals" started carrying weapons in public.

Congress should act quickly.

That is, I'm afraid, what I've seen one RWer say online today. His purpose, I think, being to rehabilitate the Neo-Nazis.
