I assume then that everyone who is OK with Kirk being murdered is then also supportive of things like 1) the death penalty 2) murdering those on one side of a war who they don't agree with....maybe all Israelis who are getting killed by Palestinians??
It's an incredibly slippery slope when all of a sudden we're OK with somebody being killed because of their beliefs, regardless of whether we agree with them or not.

We are not advocating for it, we are just saying this is what happens when you practice hate and intolerance while championing the right to own a gun to protect yourself. Speculation time here, but it's possible that Kirk threatened the very freedoms he claims guns are there to defend, and someone decided they would do what Kirk has preached about. Using your guns to protect your rights. This isn't ironic, it's just the logical outcome of his messaging. The lesson here is freedom of speech has the consequences you demand that it has, and the rights you say must be defended by guns were defended by guns. And maybe, just maybe, that isn't an ideal system for the world or the US to follow.
These violent delights have violent ends.
