      Ironically this is exactly what the 2A was built for. To off tyrants.

      Unlimited AR-15s and Glocks to every minority.

        This is unironically the same idea that started the Black Panthers. People noticed that peaceful unarmed protests were violently busted by the cops… But peaceful heavily armed protests were politely watched from across the street. So they started arming the people who were protesting, and those people were largely minorities.

      Then logically one could infer that they would rather die than prevent the senseless violence.

      EDIT: I’m not advocating for anyone’s death or praising what occurred. I just wanted to point to how moronic his stance was. Why would anyone say any death from gun violence is okay?

        I’m guessing it’s more like they think it won’t happen to them. A lot right wingers are very shortsighted. They lack the imagination or empathy that if something happens to someone else, it can also happen to them.

      I wonder if his stance on that position changed at all in the 0.5 seconds between the hit and loss of consciousness.

      “You will not get gun deaths to zero. You can significantly reduce them…by having more fathers in the home and more armed guards in front of schools.”

      I fucking burst out laughing. This guy was a walking meme.

      I just saw the clip too. Kirk fully sucked but I don’t know how you can watch that video and not see a fellow human dying
