You’re missing the point. The vast majority of Antifa members and demonstrators do not go out of their way to damage public or private property and generally do not act in a manner that will harm bystanders and locals.

The far right talking points, however, would try to make people believe that Antifa is just an anarchist organization seeking to undermine and overthrow all law enforcement agencies and entities to allow them to loot and pillage to their hearts content without any concern for bystanders. The truth couldn’t be further as there has been numerous examples of Antifa members identify people there to instigate violence and quite often doing what they can to aid law enforcement present to apprehend and arrest them before the situation becomes violent.

The same can largely be said about gun owners. The vast majority have never used a firearm to commit a crime, nor intend to. And spend any amount of time at a firing range or other organizations for gun owners, and you find a group so conscious about safe use of firearms that to even accidentally point an unloaded and known safe firearm at any other living person for any reason other than self defense can often result in that person being immediately disarmed and lectured.

Where as posts in this comment thread seem to assume owning a gun means you want to shoot and kill someone for no other reason than you owned a gun, which couldn’t be any further from the truth.
