Should the actions of a handful of criminals be used as an excuse to take away the rights of millions of innocent people? Any reasonable person would say no, but when it comes to gun related violence the standards of logic tend to go out the window. There are many government officials that view each major shooting as a gift – They believe that tragedies are political capital, a tool for leveraging away our freedoms.
In many cases of mass murder in the US the first inclination of the corporate media and the political left has been to rush to conclusions. They immediately blame conservative political motivations for the attacks, while also blaming our 2nd Amendment rights in general. If the shooter turns out to be anti-conservative or doesn’t fit the racial mold, they simply stop reporting the story. The agenda is obvious – To paint conservative men as a dangerous monolith plaguing the rest of society.
Why do they pursue this particular narrative, though?
Perhaps because, statistically speaking, conservative (and libertarian) men are the predominant group keeping authoritarians at bay. The government attacks us because they are afraid of us, and they are afraid of us for a reason. It’s not about what we are doing, it’s about what we could do if they cross the line into accelerated tyranny, and this is on the verge of happening.
We came within a razor’s edge of war during the covid mandates. If Biden had got what he wanted with his vaccine passport executive order, the country would have erupted into conflict. Many Americans have no clue how close we were. Understand that no country, including the US, is immune to rebellion, and such events tend to escalate quickly.
Leftists often envision their own rebellion as a sort of modern French Revolution in which mobs march the streets and rule the day as heads roll in the town square. They believe their “righteousness” is a shield from harm. But this kind of mob intimidation only works within societies that still respect the rule of law. Leftist insurgencies use a nation’s freedoms and laws against them by saying “You can’t touch us because your principles prevent you…”
US patriots have no such delusions. We know that when it comes to corrupt governments, principles and the rule of law go out the window very quickly if their power is legitimately threatened. Leftists can exploit mob actions, invade government buildings and burn cities to the ground because the government ALLOWS them to. When we do the same thing? Well…how many years now have we heard the word “insurrection” over a single protest on January 6th 2021?
The strategies of the leftists cannot be our strategies because government protections apply to them and not to us. This double standard is leaving constitutional Americans with few options, and the hypocrisy is getting worse by the day. As I write this, Joe Biden is calling for an “assault weapons” ban over a shooting perpetrated by a transgender lunatic acting on her political motivations. We used to call that terrorism. Instead, the White House is throwing their full support behind trans activist movements and blaming firearms for the deaths instead of the shooter’s twisted beliefs.
Numerous mass murder events have been perpetrated by people indoctrinated into the leftist fold. I would usually be the first to look at the psychological triggers for a shooter, rather than pure political motivation. But, more and more, it appears that the political left is creating the very monsters we now see targeting specific groups. And in each scenario, the media argues that these tragedies were STILL caused by conservative policies. For example:
1) On November 21st 2021, Darrell Brooks jumped into his SUV and deliberately drove it through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, killing six and injuring 60 other people, including children and the elderly. He is cited on numerous social media posts supporting BLM related arguments and anti-white arguments. Some BLM activists took to social media to defend Brooks’ actions, and suggested that his act of mass murder was the “beginning of a revolution.”
At first, the media denied any race related motives or political motives for the attack. When Brooks’ comments were made public, they went silent. Suddenly, no one in the media was talking about the Waukesha Massacre anymore, and those that did talk about it argued that it was actually the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse (a young man who acted in self defense against an attacking mob) that justified the actions of Brooks.
2) On November 19th 2022, Anderson Aldrich entered a gay club in Colorado Springs called ‘Club Q’ and opened fire, killing 5 and injuring dozens of others. The immediate response by the media and the political left was to accuse conservatives of encouraging the crime and encouraging “hatred against the LGBT community.” Yet, when details finally emerged it became clear that the shooter identified as “non-binary” and had been a regular visitor to the club.
Once again, the media went utterly silent and the deaths at Club Q disappeared from the radar. When a mass murder event is not useful for leftists to push their agenda, they no longer care.
3) Then there was the recent mass shooting in Nashville at The Covenant school, a private Christian institution. Audrey Hale, a biological female trans activist, entered the school with a Keltec rifle that fires pistol rounds and killed 6 people, including 3 children. Hale reportedly left behind a “manifesto” which authorities have yet to release (Gee, I wonder why?), but going by her social media activity it is likely that she was politically motivated by Tennessee’s legislation against gender bending surgeries for children as well as bans against sexualized drag shows for minors.
Leftists and the media have aggressively tried to spin Hale’s attack as a gun control issue rather than what it is – Political terrorism.
4) Finally, we have the attack in Louisville, Kentucky at Old National Bank by a man named Connor Sturgeon, an employee of the bank that was about to be laid off who killed five colleagues while livestreaming the incident. Sturgeon has the look that the media likes (tall, young white man) but not the proper politics. Sturgeon’s social media history including his Reddit posts indicate he was a rabid leftist.
Using the pronouns He/Him, Sturgeon posted numerous anti-Trump and anti-NRA memes and rants, as well as pro-covid lockdown comments. There has in fact been a widespread effort by many platforms to scrub his comments from their pages as quickly as possible. In one group chat message, Sturgeon reportedly sent photos that included the statement “They won’t listen to words or protests, let’s see if they hear this…”
Media discussion on the Old National Bank shooting evaporated within a couple days, the fastest I think I have ever seen a story get buried. I could list may other ideologically inclined attacks by verified leftists, but I think you get the idea. Are there shooters with anti-leftist views? A few, but they don’t receive protection from the media and the government like leftist attackers do.
Beyond the issue of directed attacks there is also the issue of overall violence in America. The vast majority of violent crime in the US occurs in Democrat run cities. This is a fact. Data shows that 27 of the top 30 most violent cities in America are run by Democrat governments, including the cities with the most homicides. Fourteen of those cities also have Soros-backed prosecutors. This trend has been ongoing for years.
The problem is not guns, nor is it conservatives. Conservative towns are some of the safest places in America for the exact reason that there are guns everywhere in the hands of law abiding citizens. What the stats show is a trend that directly relates to a particular ideology – The leftist ideology (and by extension Globalism). Without leftists and leftist policies crime would plummet in the US. The more leftist extremism and globalism spreads the worse things get from generation to generation.
The inevitable outcome is war.
To be sure, there are peaceful means to delay conflict, such as separation or “national divorce.” This is already happening. Millions of Americans tired of leftist policies, taxes, mandates, bureaucracy, crime and cultism have left blue cities and blue states, and many millions more who have the means will leave in the near future.
There will come a point, however, when leftists and establishment elites will try to stop this separation from continuing. If they let people leave they then have to admit their ideology is failing, and that’s not an option for them. They will extort Americans into the society THEY want. History shows us that when a population is disarmed the worst atrocities unfold. The Soviet purge of millions of citizens through gun confiscation and then food confiscation is just one example that people should study before joining any anti-gun bandwagon.
One can easily see where this is going. The establishment will try to use force to make us submit to their system and we will not let them. That’s when the shooting starts. If we consider the problem from this perspective it makes perfect sense that these people are rabidly chasing after gun bans today. They know a war is about to happen because they know they are about to start one. And, they know there is a chance they will lose the fight should Americans remain armed. They’re afraid for a reason; they’re afraid of losing.

The Chinese are pissed that we have yet to be disarmed. They were promised it back during clinton’s reign and cannot collect on their “ investments “ of our resources
Isn’t this part of the plan?? The far left or like you said by extension the globalists, have for years been propagandizing; infiltrating all schools and then dare I say create these killing episodes with the end result to fit their goal. And then use these episodes to target conservatives as the scape goat. The unfortunate thing is, no one is standing up and fighting, which may or most likely end up being very ugly if they push to far. Where are all the moderates? Where is congress?
Chris: very small percentage of people who have critical thinking skills can piece all this together leading up to the WEF’s agenda 2030, depopulation from injections (RFKjr’s speeches and book The real A. Fauci and his website, this website, Quayle, Hagmann, Leo Lohmann, etc.) Majority of people could care less (most not taught history, values or ethics when young) We have a nation of beta males (heads of house) who will obey gov. right or wrong, when they are not trying to make ends meet, they are on social media, texting 24/7 leaving phone on 24 hrs, (most women incl) into video games either solo or w/partners. If watching news, it is TV leftist news . 150 people inthis retirement commuity I have only met three people informed (in their 80’s) one alittle younger. After dumping friends during covid hysteria, I only talk w/ likeminded-have no time for those I cannot trust (uninformed). Everyone has access to computers somewhere, no excuse unless they are nihilists and self absorbed 24/7, I hope there are enough younger men with spines who will stand up when things go off the rails. Will it be women and old people who will go down fighting this battle in the end? Sure looks that way, communities don’t have real leaders anymore, many are puppets of the liberal agendas. Pastors and civic clubs likewise (social centers).
This is just fatalism. I heard this kind of talk endlessly during the attempted covid coup, and yet we beat the enemy back and defeated the vax passport agenda. We even had numerous red state governments on our side. The situation is not as hopeless as you think it is.
Well said!

Great article Brandon. Any thoughts on RFK Jr. Running for prez?
Concerning RFK Jr., a “relevant” or an interesting article by JHK:

Wait and See…
…
Clearly, globalists like using – again! – Chaos in order to control people.
Moreover, they like this method: “Problem, Reaction and Solution”… and “Divide the people to better rule” (i.e. “Divide et Imperar”, in Latin).
The globalists are running out of options – and they know it, as do we.
Indeed(and “unfortunately”): Get ready for War.
…
PS: In Europe, more and more geopolitologists and/or “experts”/historians of the United States are talking about a new civil war to come.
Add another Latin expression: imperio en imperium—empires within the bigger empire (Rome.)
Someone must rise to defend to protect the empire in decline. Thinking of an empire as an amalgamation of interests might help understand this.
Focusing on an external enemy—an Emmanuel Goldstein—only unifies the people for so long. As the barbarians close in, they see the need for collective defense, yes, but the emperor has no clothes, and the soldiers have crossed the Rubicon.
The Mass Formation Psychosis has morphed into a new target: Conservatives. In the psychotropic drug-fueled madness, violence towards the sane is rationalized. While a war with Russia offers a way out-“a psychic trigger”—for the affected, the rest of us can see through the designed chaos the next contrived event occuring simply as a means for one imperio to benefit at the expense of the Empire.
We need to be armed at all times and in all places. We each need to have varying levels of firepower from concealed carry arms up to battle rifles with sufficient ammo and replacement parts for all of them. As well as sufficient training to be better than competent with all of them. Sadly, I expect that they will be forced into use during the next few years.
We are here in America, because we’ve allowed this to happen. There’s always something more important than our Rights and freedoms. Can anyone imagine our government trying this in the 40’s or 50’s? They would’ve been shooting long ago. Unless we’re prepared to make sacrifices and use the 2nd Amendment, the 2nd Amendment will just be ink on paper. Do not comply with any un-Constitutional laws. Any Americans, i.e. LEOs, or military that fire on their fellow citizens will be regarded as enemies.
Bill: men from third world countries incl middle east pouring in from southern border will do as told, they will be fedm, housed, then be armed later, told to go into cities and kill, plunder. Details: https://michaelyon.com/dispatches/this-is-an-obvious-invasion-force/ I realized masses of dimwitted people when I saw lines of cars on one street people getting covid injections from their cars, I was told to use next street over to pass thru. Majority are yielding to the left, so I see slim to no hope our side will accomplish anything much.
bill, I think you make an excellent point. The changes in the culture in the U.S. from 50-70 years ago have been significant, and without a doubt the woke/insane antics of the last couple of decades would not have been tolerated without the Marxist influences.
However, those changes have been built on a foundation of illogical, emotional and impractical values. I believe the Left and the Globalists will find their “World Order” culture collapses like a house built on sand as resistance rises. Their leaders are cowards and, as Brandon has pointed out numerous times, sociopaths – and those personalities have a poor history of success in times of conflict.
There will be some violence soon, though I’m not sure what the scope will be in terms of organization. We’ve seen that the illegal mandates during the “pandemic” demonstrated to a lot people up on the danger of the tyranny. The military has become more woke, but many will realize that future unlawful orders that are outside the Constitution should not be obeyed. It comes down to how soon the reins of power can be restored to the people, and I’m more hopeful now that it’ll be sooner rather than later.
“There are many government officials that view each major shooting as a gift – They believe that tragedies are political capital, a tool for leveraging away our freedoms… The establishment will try to use force to make us submit to their system and we will not let them.”
.
Guns and personal weaponry are a tangible symbol of something basic to the American Social-Governmental Contract from the very beginning: Power To (Of) The People.
.
That We the People are (supposed to) have the power in this Country is codified in foundational documents of the Nation. But those are theoretical and vaporous and subject to being ignored by the powerful. Guns are quite solid and real and effect real consequences… and the powers hate that.
.
And that’s why those who seek to disarm Americans are really trying to effect an overthrow of the root and primordial reason for America as a Nation to exist at all: Power Of The People. If People in America do not have real power, then what is the basis for the Nation to exist at all? Such a question would be posed by the Founding Fathers themselves who would likely say they could have just gone on being rules by Kings if not for this new form government where People are paramount.
.
Schools no longer teach real American history because the Dark State does not want kids growing up learning that Power Of The People is the justification for America to exist. Instead, they want to redefine America as a Socialist World Collective totally run and controlled by ‘The Party’ and its true hidden hands and We the People being powerless. Hmm, sounds familiar doesn’t it? Hasn’t that kind of crap been tried (and failed) many times before?
.
People have reasons to want to preserve honest and true freedoms. But today we face a more basic question: Will Americans continue to want this? Or will America finally be drowned in the Sea of the Singular World (Dis)Order? Look to the young people because that’s where this question is going to be answered and America’s future sealed.
Hi Brandon, for this article. “They know a war is about to happen because they know they are about to start one. And, they know there is a chance they will lose the fight should Americans remain armed. They’re afraid for a reason; they’re afraid of losing.”
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” -Sun Tzu-
Hope you’re right, but me and friends (retirees) see less than ten percent chance winning, we are few, the left has so many. I have seen a steady decline esp. since the last forty years, have kept up (books, speaker’s conferences before internet) since ’78. Now the internet is available to all, before they start censoring us.
Don’t you think about giving your spirits up Laura. I have been living in the U.S, but was born in Kiev and had come back and stayed at the place for family reasons since “things” began to pop-up. And what is unfolding here is a total sh!tshow – the place is running miles ahead of the 2030 clock, and the people here are here nothing but mindless flock with a pinch of exceptions. You’re only hope is to keep your guns loaded, to form squads of trusted fighters, and be ready to repel any scumbag who even attempts of thinking to take your rights away. You have solid chances of winning this war, because even a small but coordinated group can wreak a havoc. Remember that there are things far worse than death.
Familiarize yourself more with guerrilla warfare. On the small island of Cyprus, while under British colonial rule, Georgios Grivas had probably less than one thousand men in the field at any one time, poorly armed and inexperienced. The British had up to 40,000 (forty thousand) trained, well-armed troops which included several hundred commandos unable to defeat him even after 4 to 5 years.
This was before satellite surveillance mapped every square inch of the earth and seas and drones and precision missiles.
Drones are overrated. So are satellites. They didn’t make a bit of difference in Afghanistan. The advantages of guerrilla warfare still apply.
This is a sudden change in your timeline Brandon (but correct). Previously, you spoke about Civil War in a sense that it was still a few years away and not imminent. Now it seems that war is more imminent and likely before the 2024 elections. I don’t think we’ll get to the 2024 elections either by conflict within or without. But it appears that time timeline to conflict is accelerating
Yes, if Biden actually attempts a gun grab, then we probably won’t make it to the 2024 elections.
Should we not get CCWs then? Was about to apply for one.
You don’t need one in a lot of states now.
Biden will never be able to grab my guns: I keep them upstairs.
It seems to me if they roll out the digital dollar and do away with cash money, they won’t need door kickers to take your guns, they’ll just freeze your accounts, credit cards, and paychecks if you won’t comply. How is the average working stiff going to feed his family then?
That’s why it is imperative to decouple from their system as much as you can and as fast as you can. I don’t own any guns. Sadly, I lost them in an unfortunate boating accident.
They’ll have to take the guns BEFORE they institute CBDCs. Red states simply won’t accept cashless systems and will refuse. Look what happened with the vaccine passport attempts – Complete failure. They’ll try to institute confiscation at some point before the CBDC rollout.
Brandon, in Florida lawmakers are trying to pass a law to make CBDC illegal.
https://www.flgov.com/2023/03/20/governor-ron-desantis-announces-legislation-to-protect-floridians-from-a-federally-controlled-central-bank-digital-currency-and-surveillance-state/
Yes, I’ve seen that. I think this will be standard among red states, but they will need to start developing commodity based currency alternatives in order to really fight back. This is a good start, though.
Constitutional Money:
https://www.goldback.com
In addition (supplement) to silver and gold coins, Goldbacks have been produced for Utah and several other states.
Well being a little bit sarcastic, if we still have our guns and they take away our ability to feed our families, we just go to our local feds homes and empty their fridge by gunpoint. They can keep their cyber fake money, and we can eat their food. Problem solved!
There is not hope for the country. All those chanting USA USA USA TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP are delusional. No one is going to save them. Something to think about:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYtGYGButRQ
There is plenty of hope for Americans, we’re still armed. No one here said we would be relying on Trump. We’re relying on ourselves.
So true, look at history. They , the founding Fathers put it all on the line. Will we as Americans have the balls to do the same? You are not going to have a CW2 while having a bank account, 401k, property or a car. It will all be gone. You will have to start over after it is done and things set right. 3percent stood their ground in the American Revolution. Can we even get close to that number today?
Well, if the resistance to the covid mandates and vax passports is any indication, yes, we have the numbers.
I believe 3% is God-given. Before I knew of this 3%, I estimated this figure in reflecting on the microcosm of the airplane incident where an American jihadist tried to blow himself up via his explosive shoes. Imagine my surprise when sometime later I discovered that this 3% was being used.
I doubt that any guns are going to stop the technology that the government has and will use against you.
Tell that to the Taliban.
👍🏻
Did you ever hear of Viet Nam???
Thumbs up.
In Egypt, (Arab Spring) the government was taken down without any guns. France, is in chaos and violence is erupting without any guns.
I think what the establishment really doesn’t want people to realize is how easily and quickly the system could be brought down by a mere fraction of the armed population. That’s why they constantly chant the mantra that your AR is useless against a tank – In reality their tanks are useless against millions of gun owners.
When the power goes out….. NOTHING WORKS…
The great Georgios Grivas said, ” You do not hunt mice with a tank”.
Especially armed mice that can kill you in your sleep.
. . . and tell that to the Apaches. And the list goes on . . .
In just about every case you sited above, if just ONE person had been a trained conceal carry the situation could have been stopped before it got out of hand. Here in Florida we have literally millions of concealed carry individuals, but I would think the Blue states are severely lacking. If you carry, JOIN THE NRA who is fighting for your second amendment rights and also join USCCA (United States Concealed Carry Association) to lawyer up and protect yourself from unjust jail time and lawsuits.
The NRA is a has been. They currently do nothing to protect your rights, they negotiate your rights away. There are others that are still fighting. Gun owners of America to name one. I joined NRA several years ago and have been watching what they do. A great disappointment is all they are. Support those who actually do some good.
And the list goes on…I would argue that a shining example of a red flag law would be a person confused about their gender identity but that would be used against us. These leftists who claim to be anti law enforcement hide behind them every chance they get. Like children who smack you and run to authorities before payback can be delivered. I long for the day to see them discover that the police will no longer be able to protect them. We have both hands tied behind our backs but I have a feeling those cuffs are going to come loose soon enough.
Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News. He had the highest rated show on Fox and apparently was getting too close to the truth and the Deep State decided he needed to be silenced. I’ve watched several of his recent YT and Rumble clips and the one that got to the Deep State was the bogus insurrection charges levied by the government. He showed via videotapes that it was all a lie and there was NO insurrection at all.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/tucker-carlson-out-fox
The real insurrection occurred in the wee morning hours of November 4, 2020. The Devil always accuses others of what he is doing… that’s why the Bible says one of his names is “the accuser”. Those that follow him have the same personality traits.
Looks like we might be about to find out what the limits are on tolerance and forbearance.
They’re not disarming us – we won’t let ’em and when it lights up it will be time for us to clean up this mess they created, which is why a good war is when you clean up these idiots that cause misery and heartache all around them – time for them to feel their own misery and pain.
100 million patriots are armed to the teeth and have been stockpiling ammo since the 2020 election was stolen. Estimates are that 35% of these are veterans and know how to wage war. Approximate 1 million militia have been training in small groups. They are organized and ready for battle.
No doubt that there are benefits to having combat experience. However, a conventional war instead of a guerrilla war may very well be a death sentence for our patriots.
Had the Viet Cong/Viet Minh tried a second Tet Offensive (conventional war) we would have likely won the war.
The Militia is not trained for conventional war. We train in guerrilla warfare to prevent free movement and logistics supply. Death by a thousand cuts.
Disruption of enemy resources is the key to victory for guerrillas.
I agree with y’all. In 2020, on this site, I was saying that the key to victory (once shooting starts) is not to take the battle to them, but instead let them bring the battle to us, on our home turf, where Patriots know the layout of their own neighborhoods…sniper / guerrilla warfare is the way to go as it spreads the enemy thin and blindsides them.
I wonder how they plan on dealing with the patriots within their ranks who will quietly sabotage and support.
The government lies and the corporate media covers for the Govt and Big Pharma. This is why Tucker Carlson was fired from Fox. He exposed the Jan 6th hoax and the RINO Republicans cried foul. It’s a freaking Uniparty and people actually think there’s a difference between Republicans and Democrats.

The most dangerous in the world is a marine and his rifle
Man! Good article. I usually don’t entirely read long articles like this but I did. Even the comments. I know one place were I will be posting a link.
In the USA, “They” is the neocon warmongers eating the country’s blood and treasure.
“They are the aggressors and the ones who created the current conflict.
They are on both sides of the political aisle and are installed in positions of power throughout the world. They are pushing society as a whole to a breaking point, and unfortunately, their next war game will not end well.”
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/armstrongeconomics101/basic-concepts/they-explained/
Also, remember Hollywood and its huge propaganda vs real Patriots considered as “domestic terrorists”.
For example: “White house down”(2013) and other movies or shows.
Have a look to this unrealistic situation – but “good” in this field: a cultural war on Conservatives and Patriots (before a more concrete war?):
