Something called the Good Men Project claims it does the job of hosting “the conversation no one else is having.” That certainly seems to be the case. A story the Project published January 1 is outright defamatory, “Guns Don’t Kill, Gun Owners Do.” The story features a picture of a man pointing a pistol directly at the reader. However, that’s just the beginning of a long list of problems.
The untruths (and misspellings) continue in the story’s sub-headline, or subhed, which states: “Let’s concede that 2nd Amendment enthusiasts have won the never-ending argument over fire arms [sic].”
Fire arms? Really?
The New Year’s Day story was written by the wonderfully named Jude Folly, who according to his short bio, “explores politics, art & the human condition. Featured in Sensual Enchantment, Politics: Fast & Slow, Inky Blue Allusions, & The Innovation.”
This isn’t Mr. Folly’s first anti-gun story. About a month earlier, he wrote “Legacy of Slavery Is Why U.S. Remains Bound by Insane Gun Policy.” In that folly story he asked one of the most idiotic questions you’ll read on the internet: “If slavery had never taken root in the U.S., would there have been a need for a 2nd Amendment to this nation’s constitution?”
In his most recent story, however, the author typed out this abomination . . .
Let us concede that gun rights advocates have won the argument: guns don’t kill people, people do. However, there is a certain class of people that merit a greater share of the blame for the mass casualty events our communities have endured. For lack of a more encompassing term let’s call them, “gun owners”.
In other words, anyone who legally owns a firearm can be blamed for “mass casualty events.” Exactly how many deaths are we as gun owners responsible for? Thankfully, Folly provides that data too.
As well, we must acknowledge that gun owners are largely responsible (by commission and omission) for the constant blood letting [sic] since Sandy Hook (as of 16 Aug. 2025 41,023 people have perished since the 14 Dec. 2012 Newtown, Conn. massacre).”
The link takes readers to Folly’s data source, which is — of course — the Gun Violence Archive. We’ve written dozens of stories about the Gun Violence Archive and its discredited data, which is frequently used by alleged journalists to support their fake claims.
The Gun Violence Archive, has been debunked dozens of times for its faulty mass shooting statistics. Any time four or more people are even slightly wounded with a firearm, the GVA calls it a mass shooting—even if the incident is gang- and/or drug-related. In 2023, for example, the GVA claimed there were 656 mass shooting, which equates to 1.79 per day (the FBI puts the total at 48). Politicians, anti-gun activists, and the mainstream media outlets treated the GVA’s reports as if were gospel, but many have since come see the ridiculousness of using the GVA’s numbers.
Still, CNN has recently cited GVA data, as have MSNBC, CBS, ABC, The New York Times, the Washington Post, USA Today and FOX News. The GVA became one of Joe Biden’s favorite weapons in his war against law-abiding gun owners. He cited its data in dozens of speeches.
The only good thing about the Gun Violence Archive is that once you see its data used in a story, you know you can stop reading. The article is a work of fiction. The GVA has become the ultimate, well, red-flag for discerning readers.
About the Good Men Project
I didn’t know anything about the Good Man Project until I wrote this story. I’d never heard of them. I tried to contact someone at the Good Men Project for their comments, but it doesn’t publish any phone numbers. It only offers a “contact us” email page. I sent an email Monday morning and received a quick automated response.
“Thank you for getting in touch. We have received your inquiry and will get back to you within one business day.”
You know they’re reputable, though, because hey claim to be leading the conversation about “modern masculinity.” They offer DEI training for those “grappling daily with issues that range from gender roles in the home and workplace, racism, sexism, LGBTQ+ inclusion, mental health and wellness, social change, and the #MeToo movement.”
Takeaways
Twenty-year-old Adam Lanza murdered 20 children and six adult staffers on December 14, 2012, at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. That happened after he murdered his own mother and stole her guns. For Folly to state that all gun owners are somehow responsible for those 27 murders “by commission and omission,” as well as the “constant blood letting” [sic] since the horrors of Sandy Hook, is beyond what anyone with the ability for critical thought should claim.
Clearly, Folly hates guns and everyone who dares to own one. He considers each of us as guilty as Adam Lanza. That’s hate speech, pure and simple. Folly’s writing is reckless and dangerous. There’s simply no other way to describe it.
As stated, the Good Men Project claims it hosts “the conversation no one else is having.” I certainly hope that’s true.
