The Western Journal ^ | Sep 10, 2025 | Bryan Chai

As conservatives are still grappling with sorrow and scrambling for answers in the wake of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination, FBI director Kash Patel has confirmed at least one such answer.

Patel announced on X that the FBI had helped local authorities apprehend a suspect they believe to be the mystery gunman who had shot and killed Kirk.

“The subject for the horrific shooting today that took the life of Charlie Kirk is now in custody,” Patel posted Wednesday evening. “Thank you to the local and state authorities in Utah for your partnership with @fbi.”

That looks like Ruger mini 14 Ranch. Look at the receiver. It has an M1A - M14 look

The murder of Charlie Kirk only serves to prove the left has nothing.

Charlie Kirk is the greatest college campus debater of all time.

(Try not to confuse yourself, mr comics)

Again, there was no greater verbal opponent the campus leftists ever faced than the Great Charlie Kirk.

I’m only referring to the same cabal Rush Limbaugh told us about multiple times, many years ago.

“...on a pellet gun.”

When I saw the video of the shooting my first thought was, “No ‘crack’, sounds like a pellet gun.” I assumed lousy sound reproduction.

“The cabal sent the shooter”

Definitely. A flaky random shooter would have been upclose and sloppy. This was carefully calculated.

Odds are the shooter won’t be around for very long.

If the rifle had a suppressor, then the sound you heard would be the bullet fracturing the air, creating a crack sound.

A few reasons I don’t think it is a mini-14, and it is the ruger pellet gun.

Mini-14 stock is almost perfectly flat, the gun in the photo has a curved top like the pellet gun

No red Ruger logo on the mini-14, Ruger pellet has red logo like the one in the photo

It also matches the thin barrel and “SilencAir” that comes on the pellet gun.

I would expect that the shooter was paid a hefty amount in crypto.

True. That might be who is behind the prior attempts on Trump.

As I recall the Communists tried to assassinate the Pope during Reagan’s Presidency.

Read up on what they did to the government in power when they invaded Afghanistan back then too.

Communists kill. It’s what they do.
