don’t like him but doesn't deserve to be shot.
He’s one of these debate bros that think they are clever.
i wonder if he will change his opinion on the right to bear arms

He's on record as saying "a few gun deaths a year are worth it to keep the 2nd Amendment". Curious definition of 'a few' (46k in 2023).

EDIT - apologies... "some"

From a pragmatic point of view, these shootings are counterproductive, as the shooting of Trump showed.

On a more general point, we are not like them, whoever shot Kirk has more in common with the MAGAts than with me.

Kirk has died.

I wonder if Trump will send the National Guard in to Utah as a result?

Probably not as it isn't a blue state.

That’s terrible, no one deserves that.
But….
remember the CEO of the private health company who got shot. Some people were able to justify that to themselves. I suspect some will here too.

What's the likelihood of a sensible measured response from Trump to try to stop further violence as a result of this?

Hmm.

His wife and kids were with him.
Awful.

My 14 year old son just asked my about it.
He obviously had good reach with teens if a kid in London knew who he was.

Clips of him have been all over tiktok for a while. Our daughters (16 and 18) had a very low opinion of him based on those clips.

He was apparently in the process of answering a question about how many trans people had been involved in mass shootings (I assume it was something he’d claimed).

Charlie Kirk reached out to millennials.

One less nazi in the world can only be a good thing. This guy was vile. His level of hatred knew no limits. People like him are the reason why the world is in such a mess.

However, who shot him was an expert. One shot, in the neck, from 200m away, pinpoint accuracy.
