Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Conspiracy: Inconclusive Bullet Fuels Wild New Theories
Federal firearms experts haven’t been able to conclusively match bullet fragments from the killing of Charlie Kirk to the rifle found at the scene of his murder, court documents indicate—but there’s also no evidence to suggest it’s not a match, despite online conspiracy theorists misusing the information to fuel wild theories about the murder.
Conspiracy theories have flown around Kirk’s death since September and have been fueled both in online forums and by prominent political figures like Candace Owens, Steve Bannon, Laura Loomer, podcaster Joe Rogan and the world’s richest person, Elon Musk.
Most theories postulate Kirk was killed either by a second shooter or that his death was an “inside job” orchestrated either by someone close to him for personal gain or by powerful people looking to silence him. Owens, who had a close personal relationship with Kirk, has fueled rumors that Israel had something to do with Kirk’s death (Israeli officials have denied involvement) and has also suggested Kirk was “betrayed” by people close to him and that law enforcement agencies are covering up a bigger crime. Some theories say he had to have been shot from closer range than authorities say Robinson fired from because of damage to his body, a claim disputed by his security team and others close to Kirk. One dramatic—and completely unsupported by facts—claim is that Kirk’s shooting was staged and he isn’t actually dead.
Owens used the news as support for her theory that there is no legitimate evidence against Robinson in a post on X. She also resurfaced her claim that Robinson’s rifle wasn’t found by police bomb dogs at the scene of Kirk's murder, and said that means the gun was never fired (the dog claim has circulated widely on social media and in podcasts but has not been confirmed by officials). Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green posted to X linking the bullet news to the recent resignation of Nate Brooksby, the sheriff who took the call that later led to Robinson turning himself in, suggesting the two pieces of information were connected.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
