s When the Antifas Acquire Automatic Weapons? Posted on February 7, 2017 by Baron Bodissey Like most of the American geezers among Gates of Vienna’s readers, I can remember the “revolutionary” phase of the 1960s. It lasted from 1968 — the year of revolutions throughout the West — until about 1972. It petered out after Richard Nixon’s re-election, and the president’s resignation in 1974 provided a coda.
There was plenty of violence in those times — street riots, bombings, assassinations and attempted assassinations, the killing of police — but it seems to me that all that pales in comparison to what’s been going on in the USA for the last couple of years. Back then the violence never reached the well-organized intensity that the Antifas and BLM troops have been displaying recently. And the incidence of brutal action for its own sake — “revolution for the hell of it”, as Abbie Hoffman put it — seems to be more widespread these days.
For a few days after the November 8 election, mass demonstrations against the president-elect were organized in major cities. Most of you have probably seen videos of the miles-long ranks of parked buses in Chicago that carried the protesters to their mustering areas, and hauled them away again afterwards.
That was an expensive operation — it cost a lot of money to charter those buses and hire the drivers. And there were undoubtedly provisions for the demonstrators, plus printed signs and other paraphernalia. Someone paid for all that.
Which raises an obvious question: What if one or more of those deep-pocketed someones decided to forget the buses and snowflake signs, and instead started buying up automatic weapons from the cartels and handing them to the black-masked thugs of Antifa?

In the past these people used bombs too. 0bama’ friend Bill Ayers lead a terrorist group trying to inspire a black, communist revolution in the United States. They estimated they ould need to kill 25 million that would not go along with communism. These protesters are cut from the same cloth.
Untrained idiots with AK’s don’t impress me much.I can deal with them from a safe distance like 800 yards or so.
Mostly they will shoot themselves in the foot, or shoot their friends.
Not much different than giving them to monkeys.
Back then the violence never reached the well-organized intensity that the Antifas and BLM troops have been displaying recently.
What we have seen so far is just a caricature of the 60’s.
I keep seeing the word “Antifas”.
WTH is that? Antifascist?
I hope if they go armed they have automatic weapons.
Waste their time and ammo.
They die.
They get shot by those on the right who have automatic weapons too.
Targets of opportunity.
The new logo for anarchocommies designed to give them credibility and support from liberals. Classic Alinsky.
I believe they intend it to be anti-fascist.
But whenever I see it, I read it as anti FAs for anti First Amendment.
There is not much that keeps those who don’t care if they break the law from having a full auto weapons.
It is possible to buy a AR-15 partial kit pretty cheaply. With simple shop tools and a little skill it is easy enough to make an unregistered AR type rifle. The next step to a selector is not patterned, but there are people who have the know how to do it.
Now, as far as I am concerned, it is not really much of an advantage to have full auto. It is certainly not worth getting caught and doing serious time.
Editors are in short supply. The Left’s violent domestic war lasted into the early 80s.
Shoot on sight. I’m not advocating it, I’m just answering the question. They get shot on sight.
The British Army ordered their FALs as semi auto. They probably had a reason for it.
I support that idea.I’ll end up with a truck load of hardly used FA weapons when the dust settles.
“Automatics?”
While they are reloading after their spray-n-pray we kill them with aimed fire at range.
Automatic weapons will kill less people than semi automatics in the massacre situations we have seen recently. Probably a fifth as many.
