In Joe Biden’s America, the quickest way to marginalize an individual or a group is by labeling them as racist. It can happen to literally anyone since the accusations don’t have to be supported by facts. Once the label has been attached, the legacy media, often influenced by groups like the SPLC and Everytown, take over.
The accused will then become the target of relentless coverage, mostly opinion pieces, which reinforces the claim of racism, whether it’s real or imagined. Their friends and supporters will then flee. There’s no appeal since anyone who is forced to deny they’re racist only repeats the charge and appears to be…more racist.
It was only a matter of time before the gun ban industry saw the utility of slanderous racist labeling and incorporated it into their battle plans.
A study released this week attempted to tar pro-gun youths – and by extension all of us – with the racist brush. The authors even added a little dose of “male supremacy” for seasoning.
Titled “U.S. Youth Attitudes on Guns,” the study was conducted by Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety, the problematic Southern Poverty Law Center, which is pivoting more toward gun control every day, and the Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab, known as PERIL.
PERIL began by studying hate and extremist behavior in Germany. Their goal for operating in the United States is to “develop an empirically-tested, nationally-scalable intervention to prevent youth from radicalizing to white supremacist extremism.” According to their website, PERIL is funded by Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety, the SPLC, the assiduously anti-gun Joyce Foundation, the City of Seattle, other anti-gun nonprofits, and…wait for it…the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Their research was divided into three phases:
Phase 1 examined the pro-gun media. “Based on the field expertise of our team, we identified and assessed 68 online, pro-gun media sources. Of these, 15 channels were selected, based on the wide range, high-volume and high-engagement levels they demonstrated,” the report states. “These included social media and user generated content platforms Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, Facebook, 4chan and blogs.”
Phase 2 surveyed more than 4,000 youths aged 14 to 30. The authors, however don’t explain why 19- to 30-year-olds were considered youths for the purposes of their “research.”
Phase 3 is reportedly ongoing and consists of interviews and focus groups involving the 4,000 “youths” recruited for the study.
Findings
While the findings of Phase 3 are preliminary because of the ongoing nature of the “research,” the findings for Phases 1 and 2 are everything you’d expect three anti-gun groups to produce. A majority of the youths said “gun violence” was a problem. Forty-two percent claimed they had easy access to guns, and a quarter reported they had “experienced an active shooter lockdown.”
“Furthermore,” the authors noted, “a young person’s access to guns, identification with gun culture and exposure to media relating to guns correlated with concerning beliefs like support for male supremacy, belief that the Second Amendment gives individuals the right to overthrow the government, higher levels of racial resentment and post-traumatic stress disorders.”
The authors noted in an appendix that they referenced more than 50 books, studies, reports, and news stories from television and print media, including CNN and The New York Times. Four of these reports were actually written by Everytown for Gun Safety.
Once the ink was dry on this “study,” the authors turned to another Bloomberg-owned anti-gun agitprop group, The Trace, to help get the word out.
“A new nationally representative survey examining young people’s attitudes toward guns and gun violence found that respondents who identify with gun culture often hold male supremacist and racist beliefs. The report found that young people who are most closely associated with guns are more likely to be white people people (sic) with symptoms of mental distress,” The Trace breathlessly announced in an email Monday morning.
Takeaways
This report bears all the hallmarks of a traditional Bloomberg PSYOP. There’s no doubt Everytown agreed to fund it only after the authors agreed on what their ultimate findings would be. But unlike their previous propaganda, this one targets our kids. That, friends, is inexcusable.
Our youth are neither racist nor male supremacists — whatever that means — nor are they mentally ill or suffering from PTSD or “higher levels of racial resentment.”
Bloomberg and his ilk have gone too far here and deserve to be called out for their lies, but that’s just the gun writer in me talking. Tiny Mike and his minions would warn you I’ve been exposed to the gun media for far too long.

The people who are trying to unarmed all citizens know that this will be hardest of the socialist handbook orders that they will have accomplish. American citizens, stand up for your rights. Do not bow down to these evil people. When we have no more rights, we will just be country of slaves.
Fortunately, Joe Biden’s American Dream is not going to last much longer..
It would be over even sooner if our fearless, courageous, and totally feckless representatives would do something about it.
Such BS
Communist organizations like SPLC and Everytown know an armed society is repellent to their goals. They oppose the U.S. constitutional-republic form of government and face a steep uphill journey to reach their goal. Along the way, they know they’ll have to convince victims that being unarmed makes them safer.
If we ever allow the Leftist/Communist/progressives to INFRINGE the 2nd Amendment, your freedom ends there! The “God Given” rights in the Bill of Rights are actually ABILITIES! We have the ability to think and speak for ourselves. Likewise, humans have the ability to protect themselves and their families.
To take away our natural abilities (thus rights) is pure unadulterated tyranny! To give up a natural ability is un-natural! It’s the mistake that could enslave us all! What leverage do we have if we allow tyrants to hobble our abilities, to make us more passive and easier to control?
Forget the diatribes about “the children!” The Left just wants you POWERLESS!
If guns are outlawed, I’ll probably die with one in my hand! Cold and dead is the only way they’ll stop my ability to be fully human.
More leftist vomit from the Commies. The Democrats are the real racists! They owned the slaves, they created the KKK, they wrote the hated Jim Crow laws, and they supported school segregation so their lily-white racist kids wouldn’t have to be exposed of children of “other races”. This is from the playbook of the Nazis if you leftists are smart enough to read.
OK, I label everytown and splc communists. Bloomberg was always anti gun but always had at least 12 armed bodyguards.
These liberals are a special kind of stoopid. 😡🇺🇸😳 Which part of “THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.” don’t you understand? ⚔️🛡️🗡️
According to their demented, screwed up logic, all cars, trucks, planes, trains, knives, hammers, and anything else that can be used as a 13:10 weapon, banned!!!! idiots …
If Obama can give away free phones, and Biden can give away all kinds of free stuff for ILLEGAL invaders, and Ukraine, Iran, and other foreign countries can get BILLION$ of taxpayers money, then I SAY EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD BE GIVEN A FREE GUN, AMMO AND TRAINING!!! So sick of the corruption and criminals in America. The problem is getting worse. There is no Law Enforcement because Laws are not being Enforced!!! The Constitution is being horribly abused and trampled by Commies in this country. It needs to END NOW! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️
You comply because you want it all to end, but it’s your compliance that ensures it will never end!
REBELLION TO TYRANTS IS OBEDIENCE TO GOD! When the state forbids what God commands, or commands what God forbids, the state is making itself supreme over God, and MUST be resisted!
Samuel Adams Quotes: 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏
“Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say ‘what should be the reward of such sacrifices?’ Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom – go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!” – Speech at the State House, Philadelphia, August 1, 1776
