So yeah, two of my coworkers (a married couple) who are big MAGA supporters are spending the holiday weekend at a "Training Seminar" with other hive-minded like-minded individuals. The guy hosting it has a piece of land that he runs a firing range from with multiple "Tac-Courses".

Nothing to worry about, I'm sure...

EDIT to add: Another coworker has contacted FBI and Homeland. He's not very optimistic though as the facility advertises itself as a private gun club that provides firearm safety classes as well as hosting competitions. And honestly, I've never been there so I can't say they aren't just that. If their average customer is anything like these coworkers though... We'll have to wait and see.

Going to a shooting range on the weekend is fine. Going to a training course to learn close quarter combat as a civilian with no Mil/LEO ties? Little less okay. Going to a training course specifically for MAGA folks learning to be domestic terrorists and "reclaim the country" is drastically less okay.

I don't think the people posting on that Reddit thread believe the people attending these classes are "terrorists in training."

I think they do believe that, should Civil War actually break out, they would lose before the first skirmish was done.

ANTIFA gonna fight their battle?  The US Military?  IRS agents?  Who's going to protect them from the people fighting for the Constitution and the US as it was founded?

I think Biden and the Left are creating more Boogiemen to replace "Literally Hitler Trump."  Without fear of "the others," the Left has nothing to attract votes other than freebies paid for through borrowed billions.

I guess the people on that reddit thread have never watched an IPSC match.

If they just go to youtube and search IPSC, they would soil themselves. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

White socks kicked everyone’s asses IIRC.  Some of the old Rhat Rhat members might remember him.
No one is coming, it’s up to us.

Legislation should never be about depriving law abiding citizens of something, but rather taking those things away from criminals.

Yep.  To those snowflakes, if you do anything to be independent of government or the utility monopolies, you're a prepper and a threat to democracy.

They've been taught that democracy only works if everyone does what the government tells us.

Oh, how our schools have failed this country.

Sounds like a couple of posters on this board.  There are "hive minded" groups on different sides of fences. 

What about those antifa training camps?  Probably not many good wifi or parents' basements available. . .  :rofl:

It’s Reddit, another cia disinformation front with more bots than actual people.

This is pure desperation tactic trying to provoke a violent reaction because the spooks know that a red wave means a lot of them will end up in prison

This is actually a really good sign

Show everyone what a good person you are so that there is plenty of contrast between us and the blue meanies

Stop blaming lazy people. We didn’t do anything.
