Alex Barron
Alex Barron is a conservative Roman Catholic African American podcaster and creator of the Charles Carroll Society preparedness podcast broadcast from the American Redoubt in Idaho's Palouse region. He aptly calls himself "The Bard of the American Redoubt." He served in the US Navy at an intelligence gathering command.[1]
Mr. Barron explains that he writes and podcasts from "a view from a Traditional Catholic, Constitutional Conservative, American Patriot, In That Order. I believe that this country was founded as a Libertarian Christian Republic and has strayed far from that beginning."
He asserts, "I believe one way to rediscover the Libertarian Christian roots of this republic is to look at moving to “deep red” states, or areas that are very conservative. I have said many times, it is easier to be a conservative Catholic in Mexico then in California. One such concept is known at the American Redoubt created by an ex-Army officer named James Wesley Rawles of The Survival Blog which is one of the most popular preparedness sites on the Internet today. He had the amazing idea of inviting all liberty-loving Christian and Orthodox Jews of all ethnic races to move to the mountain states of Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and parts of Oregon and Washington, the idea being to make thinly populated, politically traditional and conservative state, even more conservative. I believe in this idea, although I would include the Northern parts of Utah in this Redoubt. To be clear, the American Redoubt is not the only approach for libertarian traditional Christians to withdraw from very liberal, progressive communities to raise their families in traditional communities. The New Hampshire Free State Project is one of the most popular redoubt projects."
He says that in the realm of conservative podcasts and blogs, "I feel that there is something lacking for people who are Catholic (both James Wesley Rawles and John Jacob Schmidt are very protestant), or people who may be planning on moving to a Traditional Redoubt like the American Redoubt, but for various reasons are currently living in a very progressive community. Thus I thought to share my struggles, insights and knowledge."[2]

Incremental Gun-Grabbing of the Liberal Nanny State - Progressive Police State
According to Alex Barron, progressive police statists want to unconstitutionally ban all firearms for citizen use.
Liberals and socialists support their so-called "common sense" measures - a "good first step" of their leftist Nanny state leading to a progressive police state[3] To a conservative citizen-prepper-patriot Oath Keeper and to the Bill of Rights, this is "death by a thousand paper cuts". (See List of celebrities against Second Amendment)
Mr. Barron and most American conservatives support the ideals of the Second Amendment Foundation and this video, which is the formal response to Hollywood's Demand a Plan gun-grabbing propaganda video (see Essay:The Politically Corrected Firearms and Second Amendment Glossary). The video shows one of the main differences between liberal gun control Nanny states / progressive police states (Blue states - see Essay:State Firearms Laws Ranking) and conservative and/or libertarian unalienable rights - Second Amendment-supporting "free states" (many Red states - see Essay:Why do conservatives own firearms?).
This Equal Gun Rights Video shows why many conservatives and libertarians "vote with our feet" via strategic relocation to escape "progressive death spiral" states: [4]
