The guy talked a lot of sense while keeping his facts in check.
I can respect that.
While some of his arguments / debates do go deep, I can still see his points.
RIP.

Well given the gun murder rate per capita in the USA vastly exceeds all murders combind per capita in Canada via any method I feel like it's working out pretty decently.


Graph gun ownership per capita against intentional homicide per capita. Or ask Google's AI, which will tell you it's "complex" before pivoting to firearm specific deaths.

Charlie Kirk will he sorely missed. His claim to fame (imo) is debating young minds who have been misled. He'll be remembered as a token figure of free speech. He attempted to extend his hand across the aisle when few others would. Bravery that most of his haters couldn't appreciate. He paid with his life, which is sometimes the cost for having steadfast beliefs and a desire to educate those whose beliefs are fragile and ungrounded, but none the less bolstered by a propaganda machine too bright to ignore in our digital age.

I fear for the reprocussions after today's tragedy. Please remember Charlie as someone who attempted to affect positive change in our society in a non-violent way.

Words are not violence, sticks and stones folks.

Words cause violence. The worst violence on earth was perpetuated by word. Do you think cult figures who led massive violent events just did so magically? Or maybe the words convinced those to do it.

The main repercussions will be primary. The right will use this as ammo to say “It’s only liberal nutjobs causing chaos in the US” and the left will say “This is why we need gun control.”.

We go through this shit yearly around this time before elections. I don’t know why people haven’t caught on to it yet.


already happened. Fox claimed "he was one of us" and this was an act of war by the left.
talk about idiocy on steroids. Lets start a war... That's not stochastic terrorism.. that's just a plain attempt to foment a civil war. I don't think this guy should have the right to work in a public setting. Let me rephrase what he said: pickup your weapons and punish leftists. Jessy watters will lose his job over this because it's unconscionable to be on the air and be this idiotic. Feel free to get paid on this one. I'm not American, but Damn... that's free money and getting rid of an idiot.

The truth is Beria had the easiest job ever. Inventing excuses to murder someone is actually trivial when you put any effort into it. Same with coming up with reasons to imprison them. That, and raping and murdering teenagers, he did a lot of that.
When you want to rationalize a reason to wish death on someone you disagree with, its just easy to come up with some vague excuse about diffuse harm caused by their ideas.
Show me the man, I'll show you the 100 people he's killed by saying something controversial.
God only knows that in their minds J K Rowling must have a higher kill count than Pol Pot right now.

There's no doubt though that stricter gun control could've saved Kirk's life. Whether or not you think that is worth the attempt is another story. Personally, I believe people should have the right to defend themselves from a tyrannical government. But at the same time our forefathers didn't quite grasp what guns would advance to with today's technology.


Depends. Im absolutely against further weapon restrictions. Fully auto weapons are already illegal and there are new restrictions coming out daily. In fact I’d probably be murdered by law enforcement dying on that hill.

However a lot of great ideas have been mentioned on how to make sure more of the wrong people don’t get their hands on these weapons.

Some (but not all) of these ideas I liked include:

1. Stricter background checks. Currently criminal and NOT psychological history only factors in. I personally know a schizophrenic who legally owns a gun. That’s scary to me.

2. Clamp down on drugs.

3. Stricter laws on owning a firearm such as if you get caught with one not registered to you personally or your a felon and get caught with one the penalty needs to be much more than they get.

4. Classes. I don’t know if they still have these now but when I was a kid I had to take a gun safety class that included care, maintenance and handling training.

These are just a few there are a lot out there.

this is literally the sickness of the left..

comparing Kirk or trump to hitler...

which deems it ok in their minds to make them take the actions like we have seen today.


Hitler was at the helm of invasions into other countries and enslavement/extermination.

This guy literally was just talking about keeping the wrong sex from invading the wrong bathroom. Just talking. Thats it.


But the left thinks they are preventing the Next hitler by these actions... Lunatics...


They are too far gone let them erode into total non-complacency they'll figure it out!
