Imagine hosting a simple campus event about a book exposing elite power grabs, only to have unhinged leftists respond with graphic death threats invoking gunfire. That’s exactly what happened to the University of Alabama’s Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) chapter when they spotlighted Peter Schweizer’s explosive The Invisible Coup. Thugs online spewed venom like, I’m putting a hot one through you like they did, directly threatening to shoot Charlie Kirk and the students involved. This isn’t hyperbole—it’s a chilling escalation from the left’s playbook of silencing dissent through intimidation, all sparked by a discussion on how unelected bureaucrats are hijacking America.

Dig deeper, and this incident reeks of hypocrisy from the same crowd that preaches gun violence is an epidemic while fantasizing about capping conservatives. These threats aren’t random; they’re a twisted nod to real political violence, mirroring the left’s tolerance for Antifa riots and assassination rhetoric against figures like Trump. For the 2A community, it’s a stark reminder: the right to keep and bear arms isn’t just about hunting or sport—it’s the ultimate backstop against mobs who threaten hot ones when words fail them. Schweizer’s book unmasks the deep state’s invisible coup, but these YAF kids faced a very visible one on campus, proving free speech is under siege.

The implications? This fuels the case for robust self-defense rights on college campuses, where armed security is often banned, leaving students as sitting ducks. 2A advocates should amplify this story—it’s exhibit A for why red-flag laws and disarmament schemes are suicidal. If leftists can openly threaten bullets over a book talk, imagine what they’d do unchallenged. Support YAF, back campus carry bills, and keep stacking brass: the invisible coup thrives in a disarmed populace, but a vigilant, armed one sees through the fog. Stay frosty, patriots—this is the battleground.
