“You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won’t have a single gun death ... I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” -Charlie Kirk, 2023 https://www.newsweek.com/charlie-kirk-says-gun-deaths-worth-it-2nd-amendment-1793113 https://www.newsweek.com/charlie-kirk-says-gun-deaths-worth-... https://www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk/charlie-kirk-its-worth-have-cost-unfortunately-some-gun-deaths-every-single-year-so-we https://www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk/charlie-kirk-its-w...

I'm sure when he said that, he never thought he'd be the one paying for that right. Would be interesting to see if this does or does not affect that stance

  He spent his last words ignorantly arguing against transgendered Americans and gun control. https://edition.cnn.com/us/live-news/charlie-kirk-shot-utah-09-10-25 https://edition.cnn.com/us/live-news/charlie-kirk-shot-utah-... Audience member: “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” Kirk: “Too many.” The same audience member went on say the number is five, and proceeded to ask if Kirk knows how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years. Kirk: “Counting or not counting gang violence?” Seconds later, the sound of a pop is heard and the crowd screams as Kirk gets shot and recoils in his seat. Remember: The vast majority of mass attacks in the US have no connection to transgender people. From January 2013 to the present, of the more than 5,700 mass shootings in America (defined as four or more victims shot and killed), five shooters were confirmed as transgender, said Mark Bryant, founding executive director of the Gun Violence Archive.

  >I'm sure when he said that, he never thought he'd be the one paying for that right. Would be interesting to see if this does or does not affect that stance Exactly. When you have shot and killed a man you have in some measure clarified your attitude toward him. You have given a definite answer to a definite problem. For better or worse you have acted decisively. In a way, the next move is up to him. -- R. A. Lafferty
