He was sitting under a tent that said “prove me wrong” on his prove me wrong tour, and was talking about his stance on gun control when it happened. He never gave a fuck about the families of shooting victims or the shooting victims themselves, and he didn’t give a fuck about empathy. Why should we

Wdym he died for what he stood for? The second amendment? He doesnt stand for gun violence he stands for the right to bare arms, I’m just so confused on what people mean about this

And it's funny that I never see anyone I know post about school shootings but since one happened to occur the same day he got shot, the people who I know damn well didn't like him are suddenly outspoken advocates against school shootings but they're the same people thatare simultaneously celebrating him dying... by being shot. So which is it?? Yall don't like the guns, or you just like them when they're being used against people you don't like?? The hypocrisy and double standards are staggering

Charlie was an American Hero, he’s not just “somebody”

Stop being simple minded. People care about this because he is well known and there is a gruesome video of his death. If it was a democrat activist, most people would react similarly. Similarly, George Floyd sparked a movement, despite deaths like his being common, because of video. There are other reasons which may never be discussed as long as the media sticks to child level thinking. All of my views regarding charlie kirk, although limited, were 👎. But I haven’t felt the same since the video

How about we all just be respectful that somebody was publicly murdered and a video was posted of it for the world to see instead of arguing about who said what. I hate fucking liberals! All yall care about is yall opinions and have to insert whenever and wherever you can when this isn’t the time. A man died, show some respect! Yall are just mad because he stood for the TRUTH!

and you’re being deliberately dense. op obviously means wars, shit happening in gaza, the recent school shootings, ect. y’all care about this one white guy bc he had a platform to spout your toxic views for you and indoctrinated children to think the same. y’all love to cherry pick who gets actual sympathy and when to take measures or a little “thoughts and prayers” comment on an tiktok post

I think the main point of what he said what that gun violence will always be a thing, especially illegal weapons. if we lose our right to bear arms and we need to defend ourselves against someone who had an illegal firearm the police mostly likely will not respond until it’s too late

He’s not saying that it’s necessary, he’s saying that unfortunately it will happen. Same thing if we “banned” all firearms there will still be deaths across the US due to firearms. It’s not like all lives will be saved if we banned all guns. Banning guns is a harder subject to speak abt than one might think.

Not all lives sure, but many could be, and that alone is worth it imo

“i think it’s worth to have a cost.” he’s describing these preventable tragedies as something necessary to elevate our second amendment. obviously, he’s downplaying the amount of people killed by guns, as the percentage increases each year. basically saying that it’s acceptable for these people to die as long as we get our right to protect ourselves. this is how i interpreted his stance, obviously you can have another opinion but this is just how i see it.

Same way that it's worth keeping cars around even though people die in car accidents every day. Yall are morons

How does your comment get downvoted. Simply pointing out that gun control is a complex topic gets you downvoted. They probably think there is a hidden meaning to your message, as if you are hinting that “there should be no gun control”. I don’t think it’s possible for complex issues to be discussed with people who think so simply.

Hopefully this is being used as an argument against extremism across the political spectrum and not as an excuse for it happening, or as an excuse for celebrating his death.

Stop generalizing. You are projecting your generalized views onto the OP despite knowing nothing about them. Generalization is the foundation for every kind of prejudice.

Guns and cars are absolutely not comparable???

Car accidents kill people... but the small amount that die are worth keeping the cars around. that's what he was comparing. Unless you wanna ban cars?

Guns were made to kill people. Cars were made for transportation. There are more stringent traffic laws than gun laws. You have to take multiple tests to get a drivers license. You can walk into a Walmart and buy a gun. A thing that was made to kill people (!!) For example, the civilian accessible AR-15 is an adapted version of the armalite AR-15, which was used in Vietnam. Why would anyone need that? Why are they so easily accessible?

Exactly…. There needs to be rules/laws. You’re admitting it works for driving a car… and as far as the AR-15 I’m not defining that because idk why anyone needs that. But that’s the kind of thing bad people would get or try to get /smuggle if guns were just banned. (I wanna say on the black market but idek where people get stuff like that )

Im not trying to compare charlie kirk to george floyd in that way, im simply saying that videos are powerful

Also, I don’t like Kirk either, but I don’t get how some people can be happy that he got shot and killed. That’s like me being happy your dad got killed

how is that at all generalizing? what else, exactly, could op have been referring to when they said “millions of people and families dying all over the world”? how would the gaza genocide or the hundreds of school shootings in the us alone during the 2000-present *not* cross someone’s mind when they say that? they’re literal current events. it’s called context clues.

“Yall care about this one white guy because…” Who is yall? Republicans? ALL republicans think exactly how you say they think? You dont know anything about the person you responded to. Thats generalizing, but maybe i misused OP to mean the commenter.
