    He said along the lines of school shootings were the meccesaary evil of having gun rights. So is getting shit in the neck.

      No he didnt say that about school shootings.

      He did say: “You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won’t have a single gun death… But I am — I think it’s worth it. 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.” which is why I said he was definitely pro gun rights, but no he never advocated for violence in any video or quote I have ever seen.

          Your statement was that school shootings were a necessary evil of having gun rights. He stated that there will be gun deaths if citizens are armed. He wasn’t speaking specifically about school shooting or that they are a ‘necessary evil’ which is what you stated. A narrow but important distinction.

          Just for the record I dont agree with the US stance on guns and I think gun violence is abhorrent, so I dont agree with Kirk’s views, Im just trying to be accurate as this guy gets misquoted A LOT.

            You’re right. He wasn’t ONLY justifying school shootings. Just all shootings, which happen to cover school shootings.

              He was justifying citizens being armed and that the shootings are an unfortunate side effect.

              But whatever, I think an armed citizenry gives a country exactly what the US has - ridiculously high deaths by guns. Just irrational.

                Then we should follow his lead in how we think of this.

                Kirk’s neck hole is just an unfortunate side effect. Nothing to get bent out of shape over.

        Thanka, then he got shot in an unfortunate gun death at a school. The irony of the school shooting topic at the heart of the gun conversation that plaques the USA.

        I’m not condoning gun violence but the guy has the most poetic death ever.

        Sad part is he’s one guy the maga idolize and tried to force other countries to recognize his death, but the US admin did nothing for all the others mudered by guns.
