Charlie Kirt Assassinated

“I think it’s worth it. It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God given rights. That’s a prudent deal. It is rational,”

September 10, 2025: American right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk was shot and killed while addressing an audience on the campus of Utah Valley University in front of 3,000 attendees. Kirk was shot by a sniper from a distance more than a football field away using an assault rifle, a weapon condoned by Kirk in his public netcasts. At the very moment he was struck Kirk was engaging with an audience member about mass shootings in the United States. Outcry from gun supporters did not change, they blamed the act on “mental illness”. They ignored Donald Trump’s initiatives to cut funding for “Mental Illness” care. They accepted the dangers of having such weapons readily available. In the following months verbal confrontations occurred between Kirk’s supporters and Advocates for stricter gun laws. Some people noted that victims of gun violence and negligent laws received nothing from Kirk but “thoughts and prayers” when he heard of their deaths.

Commentary:

I start saying NO VIOLENCE IS "RATIONAL" CONCERNING POLITICAL VIEWS, or pretty much any aspect of human existence. The person who shot Charlie Kirk most likely because his views were different was wrong, sick, a danger to us all. That person not only committed a disgusting act of murder but in the long run he aided the "right" (who are usually wrong) by giving them justification to return acts of violence in the "left" (usually right in arguing for the people, against guns, against violence).

I think there are several wrong meanings, wrong thinking, wrong messages in Kirks quote.

1. God given rights. Religions should do everything they can to instill in their loyal followers that THEIR GOD is not everyone's God. The "rights" their God gives them do not apply to every living soul on the planet. What Kirk, and a lot of religious people seem to think is their rights justify killing??? WRONG.

2. What the Hell would make someone think that killing anyone is ok to support a constitutional amendment??? Everything about our constitution focuses on allowing all of us to live in harmony, respecting each other, allowing those who differ from us to be "free" and to pursue happiness. The thought that the 2nd Amendment justifies people to be killed to SUPPORT the 2nd Amendment is insane!

3. The statement "some gun deaths". Wow, this one is just a sign of a very self-loving person. What Kirk meant was "some OTHER PEOPLE's deaths are OK"... That is a WTF statement. This is like someone celebrating a tornado missing their home while their neighbors lay dead in their street. "Hey I didn't get killed... hurray!". Sick. Only a Psychopath is OK with people being killed for any reason and boasting because it hasn't happened to him!.

4. "Prudent deal" "rational"... wow. just wow. Self adornment beyond my comprehension.
