When gun lovers rally in front of the Virginia Capitol in Richmond next week, the local chapter of antifa will be there too. But their members won’t be wearing all black, and they don’t plan to douse right-wingers in milkshakes or Silly String.
Instead, local antifa will join thousands of conservatives who are expected to descend on Richmond that day in protesting pending gun-control legislation introduced by Democratic lawmakers.

“I think it’s been pretty important for us to focus on the fact that gun control in America has a legacy of racist enforcement,” said Antifa Seven Hills spokesperson James (who asked that his name be withheld to avoid getting doxxed online). “Like taking guns away from black people, because black people were perceived as a threat to property and the sanctity of the state.”

The local antifa chapter’s engagement in this issue is another example of the resurgence of pro-gun leftists in America and yet more evidence that the gun-rights debate is growing increasingly politically diffuse and nuanced beyond simply being a GOP issue.

Antifa and conservative gun-rights activists would seem to be unlikely bedfellows; anyone who’s tuned into cable news in the last few years has watched scenes of political violence unfold between the hard-left and right-wingers in places like Portland, New York City, Boston, and Berkley. But in the case of Antifa Seven Hills, they believe they’ve got more in common with working-class white Virginians, regardless of their political bent, than they do with many of the moderate Democrats who helped their party win control of the Legislature in November....

The article is sickening in some respects. The first two lines are an example - the writer implies that Antifa’s “antics” against conservatives involve Silly String and milkshake throwing, when we’ve seen the beatings and bloodshed. The Media LOVES Antifa.
Infuriating article.
If you think they are siding with protesters you are a fool.
Antifa will attack these people.
OR
Antifa will commit mayhem and blame it on gun rights supporters.
either way the govenor will use this as a pretext to lable all protest as violent and crack down on the law abiding.
~~Its a trap.
They come around a little when they realize that the boot on your neck won’t be theirs. That’s about all I’ll give them. Still, and I’ve said this before, in this sort of fight you sometimes find yourself sharing a foxhole with the unlikeliest of people...
These are NOT our allies.
Complete horse shit, designed to tie pro-2A Protestors to whatever violence the Marxists are cooking up for Monday’s event.
Smart people know that ANTIFA is embedding themselves among the 2A supporters to create a False Flag. That's why Gov Northam (KKK-VA) has already declared a state of emergency.
Nothing to see here, just the Left trying to create another Charlottesville so they can blame gun owners and Deep State mofos try to further restrict our guaranteed rights.
This is the same “Q” believer.
Someone in VA confirmed on Twitter of seeing the likes of antifa already being bussed into the area for the event.
Yep, a false flag declaration: pretending to be a temporary ally... Prior to them executing false flag operations during the event, to try to paint the Protectors of Their Constitutional Rights as domestic terrorists.
Too bad for Antifa and the Virginia Government Democrat enemies of the Constitutions that the only people who will believe the predicted false flag events are already on their side, and will confirm to everyone else that the leftists who now run the region will do anything to achieve the disarmament of the peasantry.
Let’s get ready to Rumble!!!
Reminds me of the fable about the guy who helped the snake cross the river.
Antics and conservatives? I’m not going to dismiss that they could work together (TRUST BUT VERIFY), but I think it’s a BS piece...
Kennedy sent troops to Alabama to enforce the constitution so why can’t Trump send troops to Virginia to supports their 2nd amendment?
Because the situation has not yet reached the point where the president can invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807.
This whole sh*tstorm has the potential to be what the left desperately wants and needs.
This surprises me not one bit. There will be trouble at this event. Mark my words. I am still going, mind you. But there will be trouble.
Any government that is afraid of its citizens SHOULD be.
F ANTIFA mongrels!!!
They are no friends of conservatives!!
