(VIA DAILY MAIL) – The bullet used to kill conservative activist Charlie Kirk was engraved with transgender and anti-fascist ideology, according to a law bulletin.
The notice sent to ATF agents, reported by The Wall Street Journal, said that bullets found inside the rifle, a .30 caliber hunting rifle, contained messaging on them.
The 31-year-old MAGA figurehead was gunned down on Wednesday while speaking at his own university event in Orem, Utah.
Sources told the outlet that the weapon was wrapped up in a towel, with a spent cartridge in the chamber. Another three unspent rounds were discovered in the magazine, all of which contained wording on them. (SOURCE)

“Assassinations Will Continue Until The GOP Creates Real Consequences For Leftist Violence”
https://thefederalist.com/2025/09/11/assassinations-will-continue-until-the-gop-creates-real-consequences-for-leftist-violence/
We have no nation, absent the rule of *Just* law. This seditious terrorist must be found and dealt with severely and quickly (emergency basis – military if need be) as a message to all the leftists who are rubbing their hands in glee, and all those others who might be tempted. Then laws must be created to meet this moment so that any further expressions of this murderous leftist ideology is crushed by the will of the people and by our common consent as the governed – the American way.
I turned on my radio today in Missouri and the announcer for the program said: “we cannot blame all liberals for a few bad ones, as this violence is on both sides.” What a lie. Of course, he gave no examples to back up his claim. I had to turn him off. Prayers for Charlie Kirk and his lovely family. May God give them peace.
2 fallacies, Mr radio announcer:
1 – they are leftists, not “liberals”.
2 – there is zero violence on our side, none.
How many cities have Charlie Kirk fans, or people on the right burned down since last Wednesday? How many stores have been looted? How many cops have been shot in “retaliation”?
Rori Johnson, Newschannel 5, Nashville TN, said essentially the same thing, violence on both sides – obviously following the script.
Wrong. The Democrats, “Liberals”, “Leftists”, “Trannies” -whatever they want to call themselves are insane. They are mentally and morally bankrupt. They have lost their humanity. They lie, cheat, steal, and commit acts of atrocity against innocent people and have no remorse.
They justify their bad behavior and criminal actions and blame everyone else for their “mistakes” – only when they get caught or called out. No. These people are insane and have lost their humanity. There is no place in a civil society with God-fearing, peaceful people.
They must be incarcerated and isolated from civil society.
“…Then laws must be created to meet this moment so that any further expressions of this murderous leftist ideology is crushed by the will of the people and by our common consent as the governed – the American way.”
There are already laws created.
No more time-wasting for congress to “make laws”.
what the fudge.
get the evil mother fudger NOW who did this! And prosecute him NOW according to already established laws.
There are no current laws for the crime of assasination to prevent political speech or thought.
This crime is not just murder, which is not accurate or nearly enough. This is an assassination of a leading voice of a political movement, targeted at the heart of our Republic which is based on the free exchange of ideas and speech in the development of the consent of the governed.
It is, as far as I’m concerned therefore, an act of war. It should be mandatory death sentence.
Sentence swiftly if found guilty but deliver an excruciatingly slow and painful death.
I agree with the mandatory death sentence. Do unto others as they would do unto you.
Myself , tonight I lit a votive candle for Charlie Kirk. And will light one for him for the next 30 days and nights as his spirit walks through the valley of the shadow of death.
Thank you for using the word “fudge” in your comment. Lesson learned well here in la-la land.
What is tolerated will continue.
Here’s a thoughtful analysis by Mike Glover:

Are we having fun yet with NO Opposition party and one party rule by the UNIPARTY. Having so much fun it is getting people killed. Funny not a WORD from the RIN/GOP those spineless corrupt SOB’s. Enjoy because it will only get worse until we get a real opposition party to fight these scum bags we call Honorable politicians.
I was speaking to my grand-nephew this evening and explained to him how I was taught to address Representatives and Senators “Honorable Sirs” and I asked him how many he believed actually deserved to be addressed with that manner of respect. The answer….”Maybe five”…..
Perhaps Longiron, it is time we drop the word honorable when politicians are being discussed. :0)

To accomplish what?
It’s called prayer.
It all starts with security and Patel is in over his head.
Patel’s response has been pathetic.
With each hour that passes I believe this was a Deep State operation. In other words, a sophisticated operation consisting of well-planned and effective diversion. This was not just one lone wolf attack.
And if the violence doesn’t end, Trump, with my full blessing, will have to reenact Civil War measures to maintain law and order.
For those interested: THERE WAS NO DECLARATION OF WAR, so no judge will be able to say that Congress must declare war before habeas corpus and freedom of the press are suspended. Lincoln pursued the Civil War as simply a rebellion and sedition.
Believe it or not, Lincoln had people arrested for speaking out against the Civil War and tried them in military courts. When plaintiffs sued, the Supreme Court said it had no jurisdiction in military courts. The Chicago Times and NY World Times, for instance, were not allowed to be delivered.
This isn’t just some history lesson. This scenario is more likely than not going to happen, AND I KNOW THAT TRUMP HAS THE GUTS FOR IT.
TRUMP only has the guts that AIPAC allows him to have. Make no mistake about that.
Off-key noise.
immediately after the shot rang out everyone dived to the floor. Except this individual who looked to the roof top.
Won’t be hard to find this and every other operative that cheered. And the notes that were allegedly murmuring “kill Charlie”..
Complicit!
Allegedly this is the suspect now? Worked for the Pentagon.
https://x.com/GuntherEagleman/status/1966099261768216837
NVM false alarm.
Photo released. Wearing Antifa shirt. We should have expected this. Does anyone think that these growing Antifa gun clubs are because they like target shooting? The direct result of Christopher Wray and the FBI failing to investigate these hate groups for years. So start now, hit with RICO laws and lock them all up. Including the groups that fund them..
Wearing Antifa shirt? Did he have a BLM sign too? Maybe had a copy of The Chomsky Reader?
Government explanation is beginning to sound like a bad high school play. Come on, Guys, you can do better than that.
ANTIFA is the CIA/FBI
Yup.
I Watched Antifa Grow, Let Me Warn You About These Terrorists
“Antifa shirt?”
Correct but with Kash, Bongino and BONDI that will go no where faster than Bondi can get a news interview on FOX
Blended in with students to flee.
https://youtube.com/shorts/yW7RxO1bMQs?si=d4zxeFPcJdM9Eu1d
Wasn’t Kash declaring last night that they had the shooter in custody? They still can’t find Hunter’s laptop. Still can’t find Epstein’s documents. Please send me an email when they have him.
I am starting to feel that Charlie Kirk was lured into a “killbox.” Characteristics are very similar to Butler, PA. This site was “chosen” for a reason. The security lapses, or lack thereof, are chilling. The assassin pre-planned everything to a high degree, as evident by his clean escape and ongoing manhunt.
I hope I’m wrong, but I am not sure they will ever find the assassin. The dark forces behind the scenes who planned this would also be capable of eliminating all traces back to them.
A normal criminal investigation cannot handle this situation. This needs to be a national security level event that marshalls the full resources of the Executive Branch to uncover.
Trump must uncover the truth will all the resources available to him, no matter the cost. Trump not only owes this to Charlie, but for Trump’s personal safety, the animals behind this must be brought to justice.
💯
if they find him I suspect he will be dead
And then they’ll incinerate him. Move along, nothing to see here….
Seriously, has he even uncovered the truth of the Butler shooting with all the resources available to him, no matter the cost?
Doesn’t sound clean to me. They know where the shot came from, found the gun. Found footprints. And they have CCTV of the guy they think did it fleeing the scene.
If it was some kind of conspiracy, it was some bros who put together. If it was some kind of deep state thing, that guy would have been found dead on the roof or nearby. If he acted alone, he did what all these shooters do: planned right up to the shooting, but once the shooting commenced had no plan for what comes next. Except run for it.
Feels like the United Heathcare shooting in DC. A TRANTIFA lunatic.
Hopefully, reports of tranny and Antifa inscriptions in the unspent bullets are true. And Trump can immediately sign an EO barring Trannies from government employment or holding security clearances.
The trannies need to be ostracized from polite society and kept far away from normal humans.
Thank you for being the voice of reason. You’ve got people cluttering these pages with the most outlandish Mossad, CIA, Deep State conspiracies with zero evidence. While a multi-party conspiracy is possible, it’s not probable. All it takes is a democrat loser who spends his time on Reddit to decide he wants to make a statement about gun violence or trans rights or whatever other delusion the Democrat-Left indulges. A grudge, a target, and a little recon & practice. The rest is just luck.
They’re gonna find this “it” dead somewhere of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, a scrubbed SM background, and probably a recent republican voter registration.
I’m open to something more far-reaching, but until there’s evidence people need to stop the wild speculation.
You are 100% right. They will find a PATSY just like Butler, PA. take him out and say they got there person and case closed. You can see it COMING ? What they are doing now is getting the timing , logistics and story all together. What have youn heard from the RINO/GOP other than the usually NOTHING. That like then DEMS are all in on it and that will be leaked as time goes on. This was done by a PRO who is long gone by NOW with the help of the deep state to get them out of the country.. Don’t be surprised if the person is not in Israel but we will never know about that for sure.
Let’s see. We have video of the suspect limping toward the University, likely with something inside his pant leg. The weapon? We have video of him running across the roof of the building, post assassination, and adeptly climbing and jumping down to the ground before running away with no visible weapon. Then we have photos of an intact weapon found in the woods that was wrapped in a blanket. This is not making rational sense.
It was the almost exact same scenario. This is done by the same creeps that did Butler. And they do not care to hide it anymore.
If I wanted to eliminate a political opponent and make a loud public statement while simultaneously avoiding prosecution, I might do it from range and leave behind evidence that points at someone that people might be predisposed to suspect.
I hate that I have become so cynical that I don’t believe anything that comes from federal law enforcement. The same law enforcement, incidentally, that has had almost five years to identify the person/persons who planted pipe bombs on camera in one of the most heavily surveilled cities in America.
You give them too much credit. Their preferred strategy is to let it be known what is desired (extreme violence), and let individuals take matters into their own hands. It’s much easier, costs less, and doesn’t have all the risk.
I think if there were multiple people involved, they were fellow trantifa’s on/near campus.
Individuals taking matters into their own hands might be easier and cheaper, but it doesn’t send the same message.
What is more chilling to conservative voices, a pic of a trantifa assassin dead by their own hand after shooting up a school, or the knowledge that a shooter is still out there?
… “Charlie Kirk stood up to such fanatics who hate freedom and want to silence any who dare to challenge the so-called “liberal” establishment. This assassin killed him to prevent his voice from being heard, prevent him from inspiring others, as he did every day, and to terrorize and intimidate the American people into silence.” …

Maybe someone could, I don’t know, declare ANTIFA et al, terrorist organizations, and the trans phenomenon as a mental illness again? Maybe it is just me.
forget the mental illness nonsense
it is pure evil
nothing less
Throw them all in a big box, lock the doors and throw away the keys!
Let’s declare the dimocrat/communist party a terrorist organization…
No, it’s not just you. It is well past time that BLM and ANTIFA were declared terrorist organizations. Their leaders should be rolled up and jailed. The real aim is to find the folks that are funneling considerable dollars to them and choke the money off.
Recall that the woman who headed BLM had a 5 million dollar mansion. How does that happen?
I see the left is saying that the Minnesota congresswoman, her husband, and dog were killed by a right wing extremist. I thought the person turned out to be a democrat – does anyone know if the murderer was from the right or left?
Tim Walz appointed him to whatever gov role he had. I would say he was a democrat.
He was hired by the governor, Whatz-is-name (D).
tampon tim
I was going to reply with the same name!
I think he later said that Tim Walz wanted him to shoot the people he did, based on what Walz was always spewing. Totally delusional.
Those democrats were killed because they were trying to cooperate with republicans on some legislative matter. It was done as a threat to all dems to not cooperate with any republicans on any matter. “resistance” and all.
I don’t feel the identity of the shooter will really be ever known to anyone other than the few people who planned this assassination of one of the most consequential citizens in the country.
(It has been reported that a small plane left a nearby airport within an hour of the murder, and illegally turned its transponder off post takeoff. True? I dunno.)
Sure, there’ll be a narrative and a name put forth. Many narratives of the past come immediately to mind, such as that Flight 800 fell out of the sky because of a faulty fuel tank.
President Milei gets it!!!!
They have the gunman’s photo. If there was ever a time that I would be for facial recognition, this is it.
We can hope he has a Star DL.
Gonna have to remind you that this is kash’s FBI, so don’t get your hopes up….
What would you do if a photo of a suspect, circulated by the fbi, was a photo of you?
If I was innocent, I’d contact a lawyer, have the lawyer contact the FBI with “It’s not the shooter, but my client would be happy to come in and talk to you about why they were there.”
Guilty? Hair dye. Wardrobe change.
If my lawyer told me I was to go talk to the fbi, I’d have to find another lawyer.
My first thought too.
Demand royalties?
ANTIFA is the newest edition of the paramilitary wing of the Democratic political machine, following in the long tradition of the New York street gangs and the KKK.
Not new. They have been the paramilitary wing of the democrat party since at least 2017. Prior to that it was the paramilitary wing of the communist party of Germany in 1933.
The suspect photo
https://x.com/FBISaltLakeCity/status/1966169520403525760
Notice his *patriotic costume* … this is what Antifa did during J6 – blend in, unleash havoc, blame us.
Notice his hands, military recruits are taught that exact form of hand position when in formation. Try it continually, it is not natural. 😉🇺🇸
“A high power bolt-action rifle…..”
Has there ever been a media report where it was a low or medium powered gun? Ever?
Thankfully, it wasn’t semi-auto with a high capacity magazine, or we’d have to listen to that too.
“What kind of firearm do you want to purchase?”
“The kind with the most clips”
— I forget the person and circumstance
Curiously it has yet to be identified as a “long gun,” the media’s nomme celebre of the moment. Perhaps the scarier term “long gun” is reserved for victims the media determines to be innocent.
But what you are picking up is the cliched terminology the media uses to box in public thinking. Because this was an assassination, and assassinations are “always” carried out with “high power bolt-action rifles,” this weapon has to be described as a “high power bolt-action rifle.” Everything must follow the accepted and expected path. Otherwise people may start thinking, and people capable of thinking are capable of getting upset at political figures being murdered, and we cannot have that.
well, “long gun” DOES distinguish it from the more commonplace “teen” shootings with handguns every weekend
“Poor kids can be just as smart as white kids” – Joe Biden
Bolt action rifles are the most accurate…..look it up 😉🇺🇸
So glad that Baron Trump has left NYC and moved into the White House.
Bondi, Patel, and Bongino… “We have our TOP men on the case!”
What could go wrong?
Asking for a friend….
Bondi is a woman?
Hmmm,
Not sure that’s a male.
At risk of sounding sexist I will put it like this…. The photos of the suspected assassin bare some physical attributes & qualities of a female. Or, it could just be a very petite & female proportioned male. Doesn’t fit the usual demographic of a shooter, but what does these days?
Just my initial $0.02
Just come out and say it fits ur definition of a trans shooter.
Ding-ding-ding!
It’s becoming more apparent that it is!
Didn’t know the devil could be photographed.
The perpetrator needs to be taken to a public square and skinned alive for his family to see. Sell tickets to the public
I’m sorry for being this way but I’m tired of Conservatives turning the cheek because we don’t want to be like the left. That’s the problem. As long as they don’t face punishment , they’ll keep on
Bring back public hangings.
they been wheeling around a guillotine out there in Portland the past week or so
With the quality of the masks that are available today, do we even know that that is really the image of the person involved?
you been watching too many of those Mission Impossible movies where everybody rips off those masks
it was clever for about a half hour but is long past its sell-by date
And, as the governor has said, “we have the death penalty in this state”. Justice for Charlie!
I’m trying to give the FBI/DOJ the benefit of doubt but I’m not succeeding very well. I still think this is a trans related assassination. I don’t think we will ever see the person/persons responsible since if the FBI/DOJ finds them they will be killed or suicided with their bodies being cremated within a couple days.
My level of confidence in our government law enforcement/judicial systems is pretty much non-existent. I find this sad since I know I’m alone. To think our country has sunk this low. Maybe it was always so except we the lowly citizens just weren’t aware.
“For those liberals who say that Charlie Kirk was hateful to transgender people, explain yourselves. Most of you have literally never heard him, and are just parroting what main stream media talking heads have told you about him.
THIS is how Charlie debated and interacted with folks struggling with confusion and dysphoria concerning their biology.👇🏼”
https://x.com/LuckyMcGee/status/1966207117767164362
Yes, I’ve watched videos of him saying similar things many times. He was a good and great man, and I am tearing up just writing that. Watching him be his kind self to this person who is obviously suffering is exactly what she needed.
This wonderful person is what the Left deemed as hateful. He was just the opposite — he was loveful!!
The rifle says red herring all over it. Convenient plant to misdirect like a squirrel to a dog.
Utah police release more photos.
That’s a big phone in the jeans pocket.
So, I guess that Palantir stuff don’t work too good. What a relief!
Press Conference so far . . . some ‘new’ video of perp fleeing the scene, nothing else to add to what we already know. They don’t know who he is.
Kash up next, but I doubt he’ll add anything substantive.
Only the Gov talked, Kash was deer in headlights mode
Wait a minute.
“The community is not at risk” just because they found his rifle in the woods? Maybe he had another weapon hidden there.
How do they know he’s no longer a danger to the community?
There was no rifle on the fleeing perp. How did it get into the woods?
