Everytown for Gun Safety, that self-proclaimed beacon of gun violence prevention, has long mastered the art of turning every news cycle into fodder for their civilian disarmament agenda—and the Associated Press is playing right along, as exposed in a sharp Jernalizm takedown. The piece skewers an AP article quoting Everytown’s John Feinblatt, who bizarrely credits the politics around guns for boosting firearm sales. It’s a classic case of media malpractice: instead of balanced reporting on market dynamics, the AP amplifies anti-gun spin that paints surging demand as some twisted byproduct of political rhetoric. This isn’t journalism; it’s advocacy dressed in wire-service drag, conveniently ignoring how Biden-Harris fearmongering, ATF overreach, and endless calls for confiscation are the real sales drivers keeping gun shops humming.
Dig deeper, and you see the hypocrisy laid bare. Everytown’s own Sarah Haag chimes in, admitting that heated gun debates help sell them, yet their entire playbook—red flag laws, assault weapon bans, universal background checks—relies on demonizing the very Second Amendment exercise that’s fueling record NICS checks. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy: they stoke panic with doomsday predictions, infringe on rights, and then point to defensive gun buys as proof of a crisis needing more control. For the 2A community, this is a wake-up call. AP’s bias isn’t just sloppy; it’s a strategic leak in the dam holding back outright propaganda. Every slanted story normalizes their narrative, eroding public support for our rights one balanced quote at a time.
The implications? Double down on vigilance. Share this Jernalizm exposé far and wide—it’s pro-2A ammo exposing how outfits like Everytown weaponize the press against us. With elections looming and SCOTUS battles ahead (hello, Rahimi fallout), we can’t let media gatekeepers dictate the gun conversation. Arm yourself with facts, buy that next mag dump if the spirit moves you, and remind everyone: their politics around guns only proves the founders nailed it—when tyranny whispers, the people stock up. Stay frosty, patriots.
