Anti-Flag has posted a statement in response to several allegations that Arizona shooting suspect Jared Lee Loughner was a fan of the band and what that means in regards to the band's own anti-authoritarian stance. They explained:

[The comments about Anti-Flag]] has led to some discussion in the media and elsewhere regarding Anti-Flag and what Anti-Flag stands for. For well over a decade Anti-Flag has endorsed non-violent progressive change and has lobbied for peace, equality, justice, and health care (including mental health care) for all people of America and the world.

Anti-Flag unconditionally condemns the heinous actions of Mr. Loughner and our heartfelt condolences and best wishes go out to every single person affected by Mr. Loughner's senseless act of violence. Our message is and always has been very clear, violence in any form is unacceptable.
