We’ve long seen the games anti-gunners play with various firearms. Privately made guns are “ghost guns.” Modern sporting rifles are “assault weapons,” or even worse, “battlefield weapons of war.”
And, we’ve long known that when they decide to come for our hunting rifles, it won’t be framed that way. They’ll call them “sniper rifles.”
It seems the Daily Mail is already setting up that framework.
FBI Director Kash Patel crushed efforts by Tulsi Gabbard‘s closest advisor to see if a foreign power was involved in Charlie Kirk‘s assassination.
The head of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, analyzed FBI files to determine whether Kirk’s alleged killer received assistance from a foreign power.
Kent’s investigation alarmed Patel, who believed the counterterror chief was overstepping by interfering with an ongoing FBI investigation, according to the New York Times.
Kirk was shot in the throat by a high-powered sniper rifle while speaking to college students at Utah Valley University on September 10. Tyler Robinson, 22, was charged with the murder and now faces the death penalty if found guilty.
Except he wasn’t. He was shot by an antique milsurp bolt-action rifle that’s used by hunters all across the nation and has been for decades. It’s not a sniper rifle at all.
