Editor’s Introductory Note: This essay was first posted at Brandon Smith’s Alt-Market.us. It is reposted with permission. — It’s a strange thing. I was writing today about the tests of brutality we endure in the Western world in modern times, trying to explain why things cannot continue the way they have been for much longer, when the news hit the feeds on the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

If I can get a rifle from a reputable company for a little less jingle, I’m here for it.That’s the idea behind the new line of Evoke rifles from Christensen Arms. The Utah-based rifle maker has built a reputation for producing high-quality long guns, but most of their current offerings land in the $2,000+ category.
