Even the boogeymen of right wing media is on the right side of history here:

In a direct message, the group told the Guardian: We are against the [gun control] legislation and the racists attempting to take advantage of this typically calm and multi-issue lobby day.

 

Skepticism about government gun control is a point of agreement between rightwing activists and some US leftists, who argue that marginalized Americans should have the right to defend themselves with firearms.

 

I expect a lot of the participants to be older, working class Virginians that are not far-right and do not fit into the category of any hate group, the anonymous anti-fascist activist who runs the Richmond Twitter account told the Guardian. Part of the concern is their safety.

 

Philip Van Cleave, president of the Virginia Citizens Defense League, said last week his supporters had been told antifa is actually on our side of the fence, because they dont like these gun laws either.

 

If they show, its not going to be to protest us, Van Cleave told the Guardian on Wednesday.

 

As conspiracy theories about what antifa activists might do at Lobby Day continue to circulate on the right, one Richmond-based anti-fascist group has publicly pushed back against such rumors.

 

Hey! Antifascists are NOT bussing [people] in, Antifa Seven Hills wrote on Twitter. In fact we are encouraging folks to stay away from the capitol and downtown [Richmond] because of far-right escalations like this.

Just pointing out that by silencing and changing the pro gun narrative on the far left with wild conspiracy theories youre all actually hurting your own cause. Unless you really are for guns for me but not for thee.

 

To understand the far left pro 2nd amendment stance it would help to read

Again, the far left is not a singular organized group known as Antifa, anti fascism is a broad term. If you stand against Ralph Northram and truly believe guns are for the free people (especially those most vulnerable and affected the most by antigun laws) than you yourselves are antifascists, without being a member of a singular group.
