"Justin Mohn sure looks like the perfect Democrat Patsy for the sake of... getting support to ban militias," Laura Loomer, a conservative political activist, said in a tweet referencing the Senate bill that has since been viewed nearly 620,000 times. "Just another 'coincidence.'"

"Kind of odd timing that Justin Mohn decided to behead his father & called for militias to target government employees while at the same time HR.6981 and s.3589 are in the hopper," another X account said in a post viewed over 55,000 times.

Other X users went further, claiming Mohn's actions and the bills were "a massive ploy to eliminate a constitutional right," a "psyop," and that the government had "orchestrate[d] an event to make people think their radical policy is necessary."
