The Puget Sound John Brown Gun Club (PSJBGC) is a Puget Sound Area gun club, formerly affiliated with Redneck Revolt.[a] During the George Floyd protests in June 2020, the group attended the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in Seattle.[3][4][5][6]
The club calls itself an "anti-fascist, anti-racist, pro-worker community defense organization". The Guardian has called it an "anti-fascist armed leftist group" that "provide[s] security against rightwing aggression".[7]
Willem van Spronsen, a former member of the club, attacked the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Tacoma with incendiary devices in July 2019 while armed with an AR-15 rifle. He was killed by Tacoma Police Department officers in the attack.[8][9]
The club has counter-protested Patriot Prayer marches in Seattle.[10][11]
