A recruitment flyer from the John Brown Gun Club recently surfaced on Georgetown University’s campus, featuring the phrase “Hey fascist! Catch!” — echoing the message allegedly found inscribed on the bullet used in the Charlie Kirk assassination. The flyer, which invites people to “make real change” and claims the group celebrates when “Nazis die,” was posted on a campus notice board.Students alerted school officials, and Georgetown promptly removed the material, issuing a statement condemning calls to violence. Investigations are ongoing to determine who posted the flyer and whether it links to any broader threat against campus political groups.The John Brown Gun Club is known for its radical posture and history of armed activism, including past anti-ICE demonstrations. The recent flyer has stoked concerns among conservative students, who view it as a direct threat to those holding views aligned with Kirk’s legacy.
Campus commentators and security experts say this incident underscores a rising trend of polarizing symbolism and intimidation tactics in political discourse — especially in environments meant to foster debate and free expression. Vigilance, they argue, has become essential for protecting open dialogue.
