Amazon’s vast digital empire is under fire again, this time accused of deliberately throttling the sales of pro-gun author Ramage, whose self-published books champion Second Amendment rights. Reports reveal that Amazon has allegedly manipulated algorithms to bury his titles—think suppressed search rankings, invisible recommendations, and mysteriously stalled sales metrics—despite glowing reader reviews and a loyal following in the firearms community. This isn’t some glitch in the matrix; it’s a pattern echoing past controversies where Big Tech flexed its muscle against conservative voices, from shadowbanning books on concealed carry to deprioritizing content that dares question gun control orthodoxy.

Digging deeper, this saga exposes the fragility of self-publishing in a platform-dominated world. Amazon controls over 80% of the U.S. ebook market, wielding godlike power over visibility through its A9 algorithm, which insiders say favors safe content aligned with progressive sensibilities. For Ramage, whose works dissect ATF overreach and celebrate responsible gun ownership, this throttling isn’t just bad business—it’s ideological sabotage. We’ve seen it before: Parler booted off AWS, Alex Jones demonetized, and now indie 2A authors squeezed out. The implications? A chilling effect on free speech in the marketplace of ideas, where pro-gun perspectives risk vanishing unless creators flock to alternatives like Barnes & Noble Press or direct sales via Gumroad.

For the 2A community, this is a wake-up call to diversify and decentralize. Boycott Amazon for your next pro-gun read—support authors directly, rally on platforms like Rumble or Gab, and push for antitrust scrutiny on Bezos’ behemoth. If Amazon can kneecap one voice, no one’s safe. Time to reload our strategies: build parallel economies, amplify indie publishers, and remind Big Tech that the right to bear arms includes the right to bear unfiltered ideas. Stay vigilant, patriots—this fight’s just heating up.
