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."

"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.

This is what's wrong with America, too many fucking Canadians!
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.
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.
