The van lumbered down one of Seattle’s many steep hills. A half dozen people packed inside but despite the heat, most wore long pants and boots, and several sported black hoodies. The atmosphere was subdued, except for the occasional joke. It wasn't so much tension as seriousness – there was work to be done.
The people in the van are members of the Puget Sound John Brown Gun Club (PSJBGC). Their stated aim is to fight white supremacy and build community defense in America’s Pacific north-west, and their presence has become a fixture of protests in the Seattle and Tacoma areas, where the group is often invited to provide security against rightwing aggression.
The night before, several of them had been called to a library in nearby Renton, Washington, where a Drag Story Time Hour, an event series in which a local drag queen or drag king reads to children in a library or bookstore, was being disrupted by rightwing protesters. The protesters, who opposed the event as “immoral”, held up signs equating drag with pedophilia, and screamed “Shame! Shame!” at parents and their kids. Among them were members of the Proud Boys, a violent rightwing street gang, and Three Percenters militia, who were open-carrying firearms.
The north-west has been at the center of tense political clashes over the last two years. The area is an adopted home base for far-right groups like Patriot Prayer, Identity Evropa/American Identity Movement and the Proud Boys, who have organized numerous marches that have ended in violence. In response, a range of leftist groups have organized self defence groups and, in doing so, present gun ownership as a way to protect themselves and others.
Now, the Puget Sound John Brown Gun Club was en route to Seattle’s Trans Pride March.

Armed antifascists groups say they want to protect events from malicious and potentially armed groups – an increasingly common phenomenon
Before anyone laughs at them, before you say "Our side has 3 trillion bullets and they don't know what bathroom to use lolz!"
No one is better at Killing than Leftists.
No one.
Big Ping!
So, they want to tangle with people who have been shooting at small moving targets from 100 yards since they were 10?
Proud Boys, a “violent rightwing street gang”
Here is something to consider. The Nazis used data to determine where the Jews were to round them up.
With the right planning and data, a single person can kill 30-40 other people before he is stopped. More, if they are coming in a group. With the right preparation, it wouldn’t be hard to kill millions of Americans within a few weeks.
I don’t kid on the potential seriousness of the murderous intent on the left.
Darn right. They have no moral compass and therefore there are no rules to play by that apply to them.
“The area is an adopted home base for far-right groups like Patriot Prayer, Identity Evropa/American Identity Movement and the Proud Boys, who have organized numerous marches that have ended in violence.”
90% of which the violence was instigated/executed by the so called antifascist groups themselves.
Huey Long
There are White Supremacists in the Pacific Northwest? I don’t think so, these are just anti conservative fascists whose one and only goal is to drive anyone who doesn’t think like them out of the state.
This is just Antifa trying to use the 2A as a smokescreen.
Because under Trump that's pretty much what's been happening. I've never seen the left so discombobulated ....well, at least not since Reagan.

No one.” REALLY? Wow I thought we won every war we ever fought against them ( Viet Nam was lost by the scumbags in Congress NOT the troops in the field) Who knew they were so good at killing? Og BTW we DO have 3 TRILLION ZILLION guns and WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more people who know how to use them. Our side has actual experience in the real world with guns, not “Call To Duty” make believe shit.
Author of article - she appears unbiased. /S
Bet she isn’t bullet proof.
Not intending to create a disagreement, but I think you meant: "Nobody is more apt to kill you for simply disagreeing with them than leftists."
Let history be your guide. It's well over a hundred million and counting.
I think George S Patton disproved that notion. Leftists can only kill unarmed people who aren’t smarter than they are!
