Stephen Colbert, the king of sanctimonious late-night snark, just dropped a bombshell that's got conservatives chuckling and gun owners sharpening their pencils: he's confirmed the final episode of The Late Show airs in a few months, and when pressed on those pesky rumors of a political run, he coyly admitted he'll consider it. This isn't just another celebrity ego trip—it's a neon sign flashing Hollywood elite invasion alert for the 2028 midterms or beyond. Colbert's track record is a masterclass in anti-2A agitprop: from mocking NRA members as paranoid rednecks to platforming every Bloomberg-funded gun-grabber who darkens his stage, he's spent years turning comedy into a Trojan horse for disarmament. Imagine him trading desk jokes for Senate filibusters—pushing common-sense mag bans while dodging questions on his armed security detail. For the 2A community, this is less a laugh riot and more a call to arms (metaphorically, for now). Colbert's potential pivot reeks of the same playbook that's already flooded D.C. with B-list actors and has-been hosts who treat the Second Amendment like a punchline. We've seen it before: Jimmy Kimmel's tearful rants morphing into donor calls, or Hasan Minhaj's Netflix specials priming the pump for progressive pipe dreams. If Colbert jumps in, expect a blitz of viral clips framing AR-15s as assault toddler-killers while he virtue-signals from a fortified NYC studio. The implications? A fresh wave of cultural warfare that could sway low-info voters in swing states, especially if paired with Harris-era gun control pushes. But here's the silver lining: his smug schtick tanks in prime time—ratings for his show have cratered amid boycotts from red-pilled viewers. 2A warriors, this is our cue to meme him into oblivion early, flood X with his greatest hits of hypocrisy, and remind America that clowns don't make policy. Bottom line: Colbert's consideration is a gift-wrapped opportunity to expose late-night's gun-grabbing underbelly. While he packs his bags for CBS purgatory, let's curate the counter-narrative—highlight every armed bodyguard slip-up, every ignored Chicago shooting stat, and every time he laughed off self-defense rights. The right to keep and bear arms isn't a late-night bit; it's the firewall against exactly this kind of elitist power grab. Stay vigilant, Second Amendment fam—Colbert's exit stage left might just be his entrance to our fight.
