The bourgeoisie will pay comrades
A 10,000 member-strong group called the Socialist Rifle Association has been conducting weapons training for transgender and Marxist-Leninist extremists, and its members have been linked to at least four major crimes, including the firebombing of Tesla dealerships, a Daily Wire investigation...

The Socialist Rifle Association opposes in the strongest terms the stripping away of gun rights for our trans comrades. Trump's DOJ is far beyond the pale having floated the idea. They cite the recent shooting in Minneapolis as reason to curtail the rights of trans people. This is...

SRA members say their interest is to defend against fascists and Nazis. But according to court documents, they apply those labels loosely, citing incidents like the January 6 Capitol protests, where guns were largely absent, as reason to prepare for war.
Radical leftist organizations have come under increased scrutiny since the assassination of Charlie Kirk. On Wednesday night, for example, Trump declared Antifa, the violent “anti-fascist” network known for its street protests, as a terrorist organization.
The Socialist Rifle Association has a
chapter in Utah, where Kirk was shot. It advertises “inclusive firearms education,” with a rainbow-colored target and the tagline “women-friendly, BIPOC-friendly, queer-friendly.” One of its posters says “I will die fighting for this cause,” a quote attributed to John Brown, “a radical abolitionist who was murdered by the capitalist slave-owning class.” On June 19, the Utah chapter asked members to “Support Arturo Gamboa, an Antiracist accused of murder.”
The chapter and SRA’s national headquarters both told The Daily Wire that Tyler Robinson, who is charged with murdering Kirk in that state, was not a member, but did not answer whether his transgender-identifying boyfriend Lance Twiggs was, citing confidentiality policies.
The radical organization has, however, spread disinformation to label Kirk a threat. On SRA’s Reddit forum, a thread falsely
claimed years ago that “Charlie Kirk, CEO of Turning Point USA, is openly calling for the lynching of transgender individuals.” After Kirk was assassinated, SRA members mocked him, expressed enthusiasm, and wished that the man who shot President Donald Trump had similar marksmanship.
Four of the 13
national leaders currently listed on SRA’s national web page go by “they” pronouns. On September 13, hours after Kirk’s assassination, the organization put out a statement that did not mention Kirk, but instead said, “The Socialist Rifle Association opposes in the strongest terms the stripping away of gun rights for our
trans comrades.”

The Daily Wire was able to identify several violent crimes linked to Socialist Rifle Association members, with indications in each case that the violence was politically motivated.
On July 4, a group of militants allegedly swarmed law enforcement at an ICE facility in Alvaredo, Texas and “opened fire at the unarmed DHS correctional officers.” One of them, Benjamin Hanil Song, is charged with shooting a police officer in the neck. Song was a member of the Socialist Rifle Association’s Dallas-Fort Worth chapter, a fellow group member told
KERA. Of the 10 co-defendants charged with attempted murder of a federal officer, at least two claimed to be transgender: Cameron Arnold, who went by Autumn Hill, and Bradford Morris, who went by Meagan Morris. Authorities recovered
nine firearms in the home where Arnold lived with about six other transgenders.
On March 18 in Las Vegas, Paul Hyon Kim set on fire and shot up five Teslas, leaving a Molotov cocktail inside one,
charging documents said. Teslas had, of course, been treated as a political symbol by the left because of Elon Musk’s support for Donald Trump.
The court papers said “Kim has an Instagram page where he follows the Socialist Rifle Associations’ page. In a post from October 2018, on the Reno Socialist Rifle Association’s Instagram page, is a picture of a subject that appears to be Paul Kim training with firearms.” Law enforcement said it retrieved a bolt-action rifle, an AK style rifle, and a newspaper article “about a mass shooting incident” from his apartment.
On January 20, the day Donald Trump was sworn in as president,
Adam Matthew Lansky allegedly threw Molotov cocktails at a Tesla dealership in Salem, Oregon. He returned to the same dealership a month later and shot it up using a semi-automatic rifle with a suppressor, according to court documents.
“Lansky is a competitive shooter and a former member of the Socialist Rifle Association. He is skilled and well-practiced in the use of firearms and combat scenarios. The [improvised incendiary devices] used by Lansky were all manufactured by him,” prosecutors
said.
