It's worth the full quote:
“It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment”
Credit where credit is due, he died for what he believed in.
I need someone to prove that the 2nd amendment is working as intended. In what world does having guns protect our other rights? I have seen these rights be legislated into and out of existence and they want to deny my people of even more but total silence from these supposed patriots.
The 2nd amendment rights was always a distraction/wedge issue and also something extremely antiquated.
Only because there's a military, it was quite useful to the old union militias. What I'm saying dissolve the military and police, let me shoot some rich fuckwad with minimal risk of reprisal like my forefathers.
Pretty sure all the racist shit he said is what got him killed.
Also: MLK Jr. was assassinated, JFK was assassinated, Malcolm X, Lincoln, etc... Charlie's punk ass just got shot. Don't aggrandize that bastard, not even in death.
Dead on arrival. Supreme court ruled Cops have no obligation to protect anyone. What are they guilty of otherwise then?
WASHINGTON, June 27 - The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the police did not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm, even a woman who had obtained a court-issued protective order against a violent husband making an arrest mandatory for a violation.
The decision, with an opinion by Justice Antonin Scalia and dissents from Justices John Paul Stevens and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, overturned a ruling by a federal appeals court in Colorado. The appeals court had permitted a lawsuit to proceed against a Colorado town, Castle Rock, for the failure of the police to respond to a woman's pleas for help after her estranged husband violated a protective order by kidnapping their three young daughters, whom he eventually killed.
They aren’t suing cops (of course) they are suing the university. Because conservatives hate education.
Expecting campus police to be prepared to counter snipers is an unreasonable ask, even in the US. Their job largely consists of parking enforcement and breaking up frat parties.
If he's such a target because of his views and political allies, his team is at fault for not choosing an appropriate indoor venue.
That's what got him killed?
Huh, all this time, I thought it was from being an asshole.
His mouth is what killed him.
New reason to ban right wing speakers from campus: prohibitive security costs.
Charlie Kirk's family is SICK! Charlie SPECIFICALLY said it's OK to have Some Gun Deaths to SAVE the Second Amendment and to NOT have Empathy in the Face of Gun Violence! How DARE they Try to make his Death Political AGAINST his Wishes!
That gun was legal to carry at that school. They literally couldn't have legally prevented his death
Who gives a shit
Entirely too many people, it's like you aren't even paying attention
No, I have much better things to do with my time than to keep up with that circus
Then why ask if you don't even want to know/have much better things to do with your time.
It's LIKE you don't care, yet you still engage with the thing you claim not to care about.
Very strange

You have too much time on your hands
As do you
You’re the one who engaged me because you don’t have the ability to register context clues, do something other than seek out argument.
Considering you missed the sarcasm of my original comment and we went down this path which is highly amusing to me, it's fucking hilarious that you say I don't have the ability to register context clues.
Keep doubling down
I thought you had better things to do? That clearly was a lie
Security failures led to his assassination?
Imma go out on a limb and say his views and punchable face, combined with some nut who had enough and nothing to lose, led to his assassination.
Nope. If he had been a civilized and decent human, nobody would have shot him. This has nothing to do with "Utah officials".
It's funny, but not entirely true. Other civlized, decent human beings have been assassinated. I'd say John Lennon fits that description.
OK, his problem was that he stuck out too far.
John Lennon? For real?
why are they being so histerical?? seems like they're trying to emotionally hijack the narrative, a guy with a lil face once told me that's a thing.
End Qualified Immunity, string them pigs up from a crane for failing to protect Charlie from getting Kirk’d
ACAB Epstein didn’t kill himself
That fuck was a pain in the neck, who advocated for what happened to him.
Utah, the University, and all those who were there should sue that covkroach's family.
pain in the neck
Ahhh. A-HA. HA. Ha. Haaaa. 😆👍
