I ran across this. It’s so stupid. It’s an obviously fake right wing or even Russian thing posing (not convincingly) as Antifa.
Does even the most hardcore gun banner or anti-fascist think that yanking guns out of people’s holsters and tossing them is a good idea? I’ve never met one. Has anyone else run across this?
(Psst! You can’t just “pull upwards”. You have to push the little button thingy on the holster. )

The new campaign as shown in the picture attached to the above tweet AntiFa's #Disarmthem states

Open carry gun nuts are dangerous. The government won't disarm them it's up to us.

Did you know? Open carry Holsters are designed to quickly release the firearm through a simple upward pulling motion.

1. Approach the fascist from behind.
2. Pull the weapon upwards, quickly, disarming them.
3. Tweet a photo of the weapon with the hashtag #DISARMTHEM
4. Throw their weapon into a dumpster.

On other sites the conservotards (oh, I’m sorry...that’s divisive, I shouldn’t say that..not nice...) I mean “extremely conservative fellow Americans” swallowed it hook line and sinker, snarking about stupid Darwin Award Antifas getting themselves blown away. They seem to be getting better at social media manipulation.

That's just simply a really bad idea all around.

As Huck observes, they chose the wrong brand of holster for their photo.

Everyone who knows better should just leave that Serpa holster alone and let nature take it's course.

This looks like some sort of Republican propaganda intended to try and get someone to provoke a gun fight.

Trying to disarm someone like that is liable to get you shot. I would suggest against it.

Likely a trollish thing from some basement anyhow.

This thing is almost certainly Russian. And of course the conservatives ate this up. It was designed for them.

Why I believe this:

I'm personally against open carry. It makes no sense in the 21st Century. These hard right clowns who carry open think they're a good guy with a gun. All they are is a target for gun haters to try to provoke. Concealed carry makes much more sense. In Arizona you can carry concealed and in a split second you can "show and tell." It's perfectly legal to do that in Arizona.

I too don't agree with open carry, the open or concealed carrier is not a cop. A person who open carries loses the element of surprise which is important in many situations. Someone who supports #Disarmthem has been watching too many cop shows and films where the good guy always wins, not so in real life.

Beyond the stupidity of trying to disarm someone by sneaking up behind them and unholstering their gun, the add encourages theft of a firearm and then, the ultimate brain fart, disposing of it in the garbage. Assuming most people carry chambered, that's a real fun present for the garbage collectors and/or homeless digging through the trash. Hyperdermic needles got nuthin on a loaded handgun... This is all besides the point that you have a gun neophyte pulling a loaded firearm in public. So much win in this movement!

what you should do is shoot them from behind first. Take the weapon and the wallet. dispose of body in dumspter.


I mean....DUH
