“All of us, we were trying to grab the little kids and getting them as near to us as possible,”
Huh. Kind of like every teacher all over America, whose students have been under lockdown due to an active shooter in the building.

A close-up look at the moments before and after Charlie Kirk was shot

A crowd gathered around a white canopy on a grassy college courtyard just weeks into the fall semester, eager to hear what the speaker beneath it had to say. It was a typical university scene, with its promise of the free exchange of ideas and debate, except in one way: its size. This speaker was Charlie Kirk, one of the most influential voices in President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again movement, and the event Wednesday at Utah Valley University drew more than 3,000 people. As he answered a question about gun violence, a gunshot cracked.

Charlie Kirk paid the price he said he’s willing to pay.
As far as I know, no murdered school children volunteered to pay that price. Nor their mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers.
As far as I know, he’s the only one who said he’s willing to pay that price.
Now that he’s paid that price, and unless anyone stands up to take his place, can you people in the USA be done with this terrible idea called the 2nd Amendment?

Kirk's taking the whole 'freedom' thing way too far. Trading lives for some outdated ideal is madness. We’re paying the price for their twisted views while real people suffer.

The chorus has started. "Political violence is never the answer," they say. Well, I agree. But I'm also confused. If political violence is not the answer, what is the purpose of the second amendment?
