Never Again
Armed Resistance in the Civil Rights Movement
On his first visit to Martin Luther King Jr.'s house in Montgomery, Alabama, the journalist William Worthy began to sink into an armchair. He snapped up again when nonviolent activist Bayard Rustin yelled, "Bill, wait, wait! Couple of guns on that chair!" Worthy looked behind him and saw two loaded pistols nestled on the cushion. "Just for self-defense," King said.

Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.
“If Hamas put down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons, there would be no Israel."

I’d have to say in those days anybody south of the Mason Dixon line was well acquainted with guns, and self defense isn’t quite the same as promoting violence as an answer

"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

Both sides in the South were armed to the teeth during the 1950s and 1960s.
Russian trolls and their supporters go on Ignore, automatically: no second chance.
Political Heretic
There was a time when most of the left understood the importance of having gun rights. MLK certainly understood it.
Strangely, Antifa understands this, while a lot of the mainstream left wants to diminish these rights or outright end them.
