Shooting vs. Fighting: The Reality Is,
Bad Guys Have Guns Too…And Always Will

By Paul Markel. Jan 28, 2026

The root word in "gunfight" is not gun, it's fight. That fact needs to be kept at the forefront of our minds as we consider the following.

A conversation regarding the current state of affairs in the United States, particularly in states and cities run by socialist Democrats, led a person I was talking to to respond that he had a gun and knew how to use it. To be fair, my friend, who will remain anonymous, does indeed own firearms. I also believe that he knows full well how to load them and then press the trigger to make them go bang. However, I also know that this same person never has time for training, having myriad excuses whenever the subject is brought up.

In case you're well-disciplined and ignore both social media and the news, I regret to inform you that the mentally unhinged leftist tools of the Democrat party are no longer satisfied to hold pre-printed signs. They have been emboldened to act and act violently. Charlie Kirk was not an ICE agent, but he was an effective communicator and for that he had to be murdered.

In the span of only a few months, leftists have gone from annoying to extremely dangerous.
