Gun Owners Considered Racist Terrorists Who Poison School Children
More evidence the government considers American gun owners a domestic terror threat

Last January, Infowars reported
on a “safety” exercise involving police, national guard and emergency
management officials in Portsmouth, Ohio. The premise of that exercise
was that individuals “disgruntled over the government’s interpretation
of the Second Amendment” plotted to use weapons of mass destruction to
terrorize the local community.
On Monday the investigative non-profit Media Trackers posted documents
released by the Ohio National Guard’s 52nd Civil Support Team a full
year after the exercise. The documents reveal a deliberate effort to
portray Second Amendment supporters as racist right-wing terrorists who
use chemical weapons on school children.
“On the chalkboard as well as the tables
there were several statements about protecting Gun Rights and Second
Amendment rights,” a scenario document received by Media Trackers
dated January 17, 2013 states. According to the fictional account used
in the exercise, the leader of the Second Amendment group was a white
nationalist going by the name William Pierce.
“No apology to Ohioans who supported
limited government and the Second Amendment appears to be forthcoming,”
writes Jesse Hathaway for Media Trackers. “Scioto County Emergency
Management Agency director Kim Carver refused to comment, telling Media
Trackers she was ‘not going to get into an Ohio Army National Guard
issue that you have with them.’”
Ohio National Guard Communications
Director James Sims II said Media Trackers had inferred the scenario
demonized gun owners and Second Amendment activists.
The Department of Homeland Security’s “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment”
document leaked to Infowars in 2009 contributed to the current
political environment where gun owners are increasingly demonized and
portrayed as mentally ill right-wing terrorists.
The Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) also produced a document
in 2009 warning about the danger of a purported “Modern Militia
Movement,” including the likes of Ron Paul, Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin.
MIAC and fusion centers around the country coordinated with the DHS to
“collect, evaluate, analyze, and disseminate information and
intelligence” on the supposed threat posed by libertarians and
constitutionalists, including Second Amendment advocates. Between 2004
and 2007, the DHS provided $254 million to fusion centers engaged in
surveilling Americans considered a terrorist threat by the government.
In 2013, the DHS released a report, “Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the United States, 1970 to 2008,”
that employed the phrase “extreme right-wing,
ethno-nationalist/separatist” to describe individuals and groups it
claimed represented a domestic terrorist threat. The report takes its
definitions from a 2011 study entitled Profiles of Perpetrators of Terrorism, produced by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism.
On May 1, 2013, Infowars posted
a video portraying a mock news report produced by the Department of
Homeland Security depicting American gun owners as terrorists.
The documents obtained by Media Trackers
provide more evidence that the government and its counterterrorism
infrastructure consider American gun owners at the top of the list of
domestic terror threats.
