"Massive antifa groups around the nation are pooling resources to buy up all gun shops and Hobby Lobby outlets across America".....

Seriously, this illustrates how nuts a large portion of our nation has become. Last weekend, wingnuts from one town in Washington State felled trees across roads to keep busloads of antifa out that were coming to burn and loot their town. It's a miracle the peaceful protest in Klamath Falls, Oregon didn't end up with some shootings from the nutjobs with guns across the street.

I'm guessing this viral bullshit is being sourced by the gun lobby, the NRA and Russia.
