    Whatever side you’re on, this is worrisome. Today it’s Antifa, tomorrow it’s the Tea Party etc.

    Weapons can be repurposed as new parties take power endlessly until finally some sane group of souls has the decency to legislate away malicious prosecutions based on politics.

      US has been doing the exact same shit to leftists ever since the founding of USSR, this is not new. Sadly the tea party people have nothing to worry about.
