I think they need to get on this right away and enact sensible gun laws.
Start with
Voluntary no questions asked government gun buy backs
Background checks and waiting periods including at gun shows
No carrying weapons loaded within 1 mile of a residence anywhere
Ban sale of automatic weapons
No personal sales (you must be able to prove the gun was purchased at a registered dealer)
I think these simple common sense measures would have saved Kirks life. Republicans need to start protecting their own.
Well said by Seth. He’s right that it can’t continue on like this. Continually dividing populations will never end well. Along with the new assassination trend.
That's the opposite of what Charlie advocated for, you'd be ####ting on his memory. He quite directly said deaths like his are the cost of freedom and the second amendment, and he was OK with that, so I don't know why anyone is really upset about anything. Particularly those that actually respected the guy. Maybe show him the respect he deserves, and celebrate his death as the freedom bell it is, ringing loudly.
Or, you know, declare war on those practising their own free speech, but that's not what Charlie would have wanted, and not what he died for. "We need to have a good spirit about being made fun of," he felt(in response to being lampooned on South Park). Your empathy for him and his family disgusts him. Show a little respect. Be better.
I don't give a #### about Charlie Kirks memory. The guy was kind of an a hole.
I also don't really revel in dancing on his grave. I kind of pity the people who loved him. I think they deserve pity for living they type of life that leads them to identify with the crap Kirk spewed. Something did not go well for them.
I pity the person who felt the only voice they had was violence. I don't know the situation, maybe they were right and this was the only chance they had to express the message they wanted to deliver in an effective way. But I really pity that we live in a world where many people are being pushed down and marginalized to the point where they don't have a voice.
I pity Kirk for being such an awful person that many choose to reciprocate his lack of empathy.
I pity the people who will suffer the consequences of this event, and worry they might reach all the way up to me a middle aged white man in Canada.
I pity the people who are dancing on his grave, becoming that which they claim to hate.
This is such a pitiable situation, the best we can hope for is to ask those who are truly sad about this to help us stop it from happening again.
Spoiler!
When the Reaper does come for Drumpf I might not be so stoic, I'll try but I mgith let a little bit of glee peak out for that one.
Crack FBI on the case! Except… they’ve been deeply diminished by Trumpistan.
Quote:
Mr. Patel’s critics have also expressed concern that a wave of firings and forced retirements, which started before Mr. Patel was confirmed in February and continued after he took over, could hamper the bureau’s ability to manage complex investigations like the Kirk case.
The departure of Mr. Driscoll, who served as interim director until Mr. Patel was confirmed, has been a particularly significant blow. Mr. Driscoll was not only one of the F.B.I.’s most experienced career agents, he has been a morale booster and source of organizational stability, often defending rank-and-file agents targeted for firings or demotions by Trump appointees.
Another departure had an even more direct bearing on the Kirk investigation. Over the summer, Mr. Patel’s team forced the retirement of Mehtab Syed, a highly regarded former counterterrorism agent appointed in February to run the Salt Lake City field office, for reasons that remain unclear, according to former officials. (The move was earlier reported by MSNBC.)

How much does he pay you to kiss his ass around here?
I was unaware calling people out on faux outrage was breaking the rules. My bad.
Just kidding. And much like their fake outrage about Kirk, your manufactured pearl clutching about how I am choosing to call it out is wholly transparent to everyone, including the mods. You're a hypocrite and a fascist-adjacent online windbag
