If the anti fascists of the US actually started arming themselves en masse, I think it would be a net positive effect.

Either you have more armed anti fascists able to fight back, or the fascists panic and begin banning guns, causing the fools who follow them to actually think twice about their beliefs.

Nothing gets far right followers more riled up than someone threatening to take their firearms.
