It may have largely passed away from public awareness now, but once upon a time from roughly 1965 to 1975 the radical left had a brief love affair with guns. This was the era of the Black Panthers, who swore they'd resist police brutality by armed force if necessary. You had anarchists like Claire Wolfe in "101 things to do 'til the revolution" and Abbie Hoffman in "Steal This Book" who advised people on the Left to arm themselves. Romain Gary in his nonfiction book "White Dog" related Black Power advocates actually volunteering to serve in Vietnam— to gain combat experience for the race war they were certain was eventually going to break out.
