‘Left-Wing Gun Club’ Seeking to Recruit Members with ‘Hey, Fascist! Catch!’ Flyers on Georgetown Campus
Flyers at Georgetown University use slogans linked to Charlie Kirk’s assassination to recruit for the John Brown Gun Club, a far-left group tied to past violent incidents.
- Posters recruiting for the left-wing John Brown Gun Club appeared on Georgetown University's campus on September 24, 2025, featuring the slogan 'Hey, Fascist!' and a QR code linking to a sign-up page.
- The flyers followed the assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, with some linking the gun club to the alleged shooter and raising calls for an FBI investigation amid increasing political violence warnings.
- John Brown was a 19th-century militant abolitionist known for violent anti-slavery actions, including the 1859 Harper's Ferry raid, inspiring the gun club named after him, which has chapters nationwide and ties to previous anti-ICE violence.
- Georgetown officials removed the flyers after Education Secretary Linda McMahon publicly condemned them and emphasized that the university must clarify its stance and condemn calls for violence while campus police investigate the incident.
- The incident highlights rising tensions and the spread of violent rhetoric on campuses, prompting institutional responses and ongoing efforts to prevent political violence and protect university communities.
