New far left terrorist group emerges - Socialist Rifle Association | Eastern NC Now

A new terrorist group has emerged on the left, the Socialist Rifle Association. which claims 10,000 members, a third of them "transgender", with 52 chapters in 33 states.  They are closely associated with the Democrat Socialists of America, and assert that they are "planning war against fascists", deeming anyone right of Bernie Sanders as a "fascist".

The group's membership cards carry a portrait of Karl Marx.  Videos have been posted of them engaging in paramilitary training including small unit operations.  Their members have so far been linked to four major crimes. Those crimes included an armed attack on an ICE facility in Texas in which a law enforcement officer was shot in the neck.  One of their main logos is a "transgender" flag with an assault rifle and the slogan "defend equality".

The Socialist Rifle Association has a chapter in Utah, and Charlie Kirk has been at least a verbal target of theirs.  It is not the only transgender / homosexual leftwing militia in that state, however.
