I don't see how it would reasonably be used against PSL unless there were documented party organizing of the act (unlikely: if the manifesto published by Klippenstein is indeed the shooter's, he seems to have been acting alone and in no way affiliated with any particular party or group).
Of course, they could try to unreasonably go after PSL, but I'm not sure that's much different than what socialist/communist types have been facing in the US for decades. Lest we forget the Black Panther Party got vilified over such "horrible" acts as trying to feed schoolchildren. It has long been a grim tightrope for communists in the US, and going back even more than that, liberation efforts in general, marked by the state using misinformation, harassment, intimidation, infiltration, imprisonment, and assassination.
Those in the capitalist west in general should take the usual precautions with regards to the law and be prepared for the possibility that it will be used against you anyway. It can be understandably scary, but it is a marathon struggle going back a long time, don't forget that.
