The photo was taken by the Irish photographer Colman Doyle. The original caption: “A woman IRA volunteer on active service in West Belfast with an AR18 assault rifle”.
The IRA regularly conducted “show of arms” displays, showing off their modern and numerous weapons.

Then do something about the people that did, because when they come for you the memes won’t be much help.

The number of leftists posting these kids of cool kid memes is significantly higher than the ones that are actual preppers/gun nuts. But if you need a cutting protest folk song, we're your guys.
