Bloomberg's anti-gun propaganda machine, The Trace, is at it again, desperately trying to pin the blame for a would-be Trump assassin's rampage on a innocent gun store that followed every law to the letter. In their latest hit piece, they spotlight the retailer's sale to the suspect, conveniently ignoring that federal background checks cleared the transaction, state laws were obeyed, and the buyer passed all red flags—or lack thereof—at the time. This isn't journalism; it's a calculated smear campaign designed to demonize lawful commerce and fuel the narrative that guns, not criminals, are the problem. The Trace, bankrolled by billionaire gun-grabber Michael Bloomberg, skips the real story: a deranged individual who evaded detection through no fault of the store, much like countless other tragedies they've twisted to push universal background checks and dealer licensing schemes. Digging deeper, this fits a pernicious pattern from Bloomberg's echo chamber—recall their post-Parkland frenzy blaming gun show loopholes that don't exist, or their endless drumbeat after Uvalde to close the boyfriend loophole while ignoring enforcement failures. Here, the implications for the 2A community are stark: if shops like this one get demonized for dotting every i, expect a chilling effect on FFL dealers nationwide. Law-abiding retailers could face boycotts, lawsuits, or worse, regulatory harassment, driving up costs and shrinking options for honest gun owners. It's a backdoor assault on the supply chain, proving once more that anti-gunners aren't after common-sense reforms—they want zero guns in civilian hands, period. The silver lining? Outlets like The Trace are so predictable, their agitprop only rallies the base, reminding us why vigilance against these tactics is non-negotiable. For the 2A faithful, this is a call to arms (figuratively): support your local dealers, amplify the facts on social media, and hold Bloomberg's media puppets accountable. Share this story far and wide—truth is the ultimate counter to their fiction. Stay strapped, stay informed, and keep fighting.
