Kentucky: Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot


Apr 12th, 2010 by Hunter Wallace

"Knob Creek Machine Gun ShootAs several of you know, I spent the weekend on the road in Kentucky at the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot, which bills itself as “The World’s Largest Machine Gun Shoot and Military Gun Show”. We had a blast. I snapped lots of photos and shot about thirty seconds of video.

Knob Creek has a reputation as a bastion of implicit whiteness. I
traveled to Kentucky expecting to find a predominantly White, largely
Tea Party conservative crowd; the sort of people who are the most
vocal supporters of the NRA and Second Amendment. To my surprise, I
found a more eclectic mix of gun enthusiasts and Far Right types,
including White Nationalists.

First impression: the Gadsden Flag was everywhere in sight; on
backpacks, on hats and t-shirts, flying from trucks and SUVs, hanging
from booths, being carried around by children. The Confederate flag
was equally ubiquitous. In fact, I saw more Gadsden and Confederate
flags at Knob Creek than American flags. Always an encouraging sign!

Before we got into Knob Creek itself, I noticed the militias were on
the scene in the parking lot. Rand Paul signs were everywhere. Paul
volunteers were distributing stickers and signs as well as brochures
under the windshield wipers of vehicles. As I was walking in, I was
already getting the impression that the crowd in attendance was more
“Alternative Right” (in the Sam Francis sense) than Republican.

I wasn’t disappointed. The overwhelming majority of the attendees were
White. There were slightly more White males there, but White women and
children were almost as numerous. All the non-Whites in attendance
could have fit in a single large SUV. The Whites in attendance were
also ordinary people and predominantly working class. They were the
Middle Americans you see in any big box store, gas station, or
restaurant.

This demographic has a few distinguishable characteristics: they are
all White, they are mostly Christian, they love firearms and exotic
forms of weaponry, they dislike the federal government, they are
working class to lower middle class, they are zealous about liberty,
they don’t seem to fit into the establishment, and they passionately
despise Barack Hussein Obama. There was a palpable sense of whiteness
at Knob Creek. A vibe in the air - this is a White man’s event - that
registered with even the most desensitized racial antennae.

What interested us (the whole reason for making the trip) was to see
how far along the Knob Creek attendees were on the path to White
Nationalism. I would say the majority of the Whites there are in the
“Don’t Tread on Me” anti-government, anti-establishment, patriotic
self defense phase. They are implicitly White, but far more so than
your average Tea Party protester. Most of them are only a notch or two
away from explicit White racial consciousness.

There was a huge explicit racialist presence at Knob Creek. This is
what shocked me the most. There were multiple booths selling Nazi
paraphernalia: swastika flags, Third Reich patches, pins, medallions,
t-shirts, videos like The Eternal Jew, pins, knives, bayonets, you
name it, everything a Third Reich enthusiast could ever want was
there. I snapped photos of all this. I even bought a Afrika Korps t-
shirt that I fancied.

White Nationalists were milling about the crowd with all sorts of WPWW
t-shirts. A few White girls had t-shirts on that explicitly
acknowledged their whiteness. Someone had been distributing William
Pierce literature about gun control. We found several of these NA
brochures around the site. Presumably, there were a lot more WNs
there, but we couldn’t identify them because most were dressed
inconspicuously.

What struck me the most is how normalized White Nationalism has become
at these gun shows. I didn’t see a single leftist there expressing his
shock and outrage at these politically incorrect displays of White
identity. You could literally walk a few feet away from the Louisville
Tea Party booth and purchase a Wehrmacht helmet or a Rhodesian
military uniform! If our immediate goal is to penetrate this
demographic, it appears we have already done so. I saw lots of causes
for optimism.

Knob Creek Machine Gun ShootMy only regret is that I didn’t get to
shoot a machine gun or purchase a firearm. I always had this option,
but you have to wait in line to shoot, and the cost is a bit pricey.
There is another Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot in October. I will
probably go to that one in the Fall, shoot a machine gun, buy some
more t-shirts, and distribute some OD literature and business cards.
Next time I will be more prepared.

The signature Knob Creek event - the famous night shoot - was
spectacular. Here is a brief thirty second video that we shot with my
digital camera:

The best part was that this was done immediately after a speech about
“tyranny” and all the talk that had been going on throughout the camp
about the “Second American Revolution” over the previous two days.

I doubt I was the only one in the crowd using my imagination.

Note: Photos have been uploaded to the OD Flickr account. The “night
shoot” video is on our YouTube channel. I didn’t upload the best
photos we shot. The SPLC can do their own dirty work. Of course we
also took lots of pictures of us at Knob Creek, but those will also
remain private. Red Jeffrey doesn’t need to get his sleazy hands on
them."
