She’s now more aware of her surroundings and is learning how to prepare herself in case she becomes a potential victim. “I don’t want this sweet face to fool you.“

She’s thinking of purchasing a revolver, considering it an ideal firearm for home protection. Thieves, she said, “they’re armed too so what are you going to do if you don’t have a gun?” She’s intent on perfecting her skills and learning as much as she can on the safest ways to handle a firearm. “I work in a job where safety is paramount and I want to do it the right way.“

In high school, she joined the ROTC rifle team and was one of its best shooters. But once she graduated, she forgot about it and didn’t pick it up again until years later. In 2015, she came home to discover she had been burglarized. “I just felt violated.” She decided to learn how to shoot again and how to protect herself. But she didn’t want to do it alone. So she became a certified firearms instructor and began teaching other women at the range. She enjoys the camaraderie and helping to empower other women. “It’s not second nature, and that’s something I’m changing,” she said.

• Lois Woods, an investigator with a career in law enforcement, poses for a portrait in Decatur, Ga., holding her Glock firearm. Woods is a firearms instructor and among the ranks of the nation’s black women who own a firearm. She decided to become an instructor after going through the academy and encountering an instructor whose approach did more to instill fear than inspire her to be a good shooter. She now teaches at a range in metro Atlanta. It used to be rare to see a black woman at the range, she said. “When they come in and I’m walking out and they see my shirt, they look at me with amazement,” Woods said. Self-protection is the overwhelming reason she hears most women cite for learning how to shoot. “The fear of being a victim outweighs everything else,” Woods says. (AP Photo/Lisa Marie Pane)

Then about a month ago, she decided to buy a firearm for protection. She worries about remaining safe should she ever be stopped by a police officer. “As a black person in America, this is a major problem,” she said. “You hope and pray you’re following all the rules and that officer stopping you is following all the rules and doesn’t have an agenda.“ 
• Stayce Robinson poses for a portrait in Decatur, Ga., with her AR-15. Robinson, 49, from Douglasville, Ga., is an entrepreneur and tax analyst for a software company. She also is among the ranks of the nation’s black women who own a firearm. Robinson grew up around firearms because her grandparents were business owners and had them for protection. She got her first firearm at 18. “I’ve never been scared of guns. I respect their power,” she said. “It actually got me dates.” Her first gun was a .380 caliber pistol. She’s also owned a revolver, a .38 caliber and a 9mm. Her gun collection kept getting bigger, she said. This past Christmas, her husband bought her an AR-15. “It’s the best gift ever,” she said. She worries about the violence in the world, from home invasions to politically-inspired violence. “If I’m placed in the position to have to use a gun, I won’t hesitate.”

Here’s the thing.  Antifa and their supporters are openly practicing violence. Even worse is that they plan it.  They plan to escalate it as you can see.

Now, if they call Ben Shapiro or me a ‘Nazi’, what does that make you? If they can justify violence against someone with an iPhone camera, what can they do to you?  But worst of all, why did it take a late night podcast host and is producer to do this kind of journalism?

Cryptic messaging apps, private groups, handing out illegal weapons, and planning tactics–do you mean to tell me that no one ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN with billions of dollars of resources could not have done this?!  It took Steven Crowder and NotGayJared to pull it off with some plane tickets and a couple burner phones?

Sure, Antifa is violent and they sucks.  We get it.  They are very violent.  But the fact that the media has never reported on any of this begs the question, are they complicit?  Is the media complicit with all of this…or do they just suck at their job?
