      Well, the person who killed him wasn’t from one of the groups he used to demonize, so I’d say yes, he did. His last words were him continuing to spew his hateful misinformation to gullible idiots. The world is better off without him around.

      He was in the middle of trying to brush off gun violence as gang related, which is code for “black people”. And literally in the middle of saying his racist bit, he got shot in the neck by a white conservative.

      So you tell me.

        Look, I’m not saying “easy access to guns might result in bad people getting what they deserve” was a good argument for him to have made, but you gotta admit the practical demonstration was pretty effective in driving home the point.

          You’re not wrong, it’s just that there’s better ways to achieve that end state without the rampant school shootings that happen every other day in the US being as easy to do as microwaving a burrito.
