There was a school shooting on the same day as Kirk's death: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/students-wounded-shooti...

If he were still alive, he would be writing and speaking about how such violence is unfortunate but ultimately acceptable— even necessary— to "preserve our freedoms", brushing it aside to be forgotten. He of course did so many times in life, notably in 2023 when he was quoted doing so in the media:

Kirk's death has already overshadowed the news of that school shooting, which will indeed be forgotten by most long before we stop talking about him.

One final victory for Charlie Kirk, I guess.

He would have really advocated for violence, or school shootings? That seems odd. It is way different from "gun deaths are worth having the 2nd amendment".

Did he question the 2nd amendment beacuse of school shootings? If not then school shooting deaths are part of his costs of his 2nd amendment defense.

I should have known better than to reply under this submission. HN is no different from Twitter or Instagram when it comes to anything political.

My question was not answered, and my comment was ignored.

Good job for everyone here for not being able to hold a rational, non-heated conversation.

The implicit part of your question was answered. I just ignored the part where you misparaphrased parent.

He didn't say Kirk advocated violence but that he was indifferent towards it in favor of the 2nd amendment. Isn't it interesting how a pro-lifer like Kirk didn't care that much about lives if it's about gun ownership?

Seems like it's harder to get a driver's license than a gun.

I do not think that he was against regulation, and keep in mind that criminals inherently do not care about gun laws or regulation.
