Screenshot from linked article;
Gun control
The Turning Point founder was addressing the subject of gun violence when he was fatally shot in Utah.
Kirk was known to be a gun owner himself and regularly spoke out on the issue, including on behalf of the National Rifle Association in the aftermath of the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in February 2018.
At a Turning Point event in Salt Lake City in April 2023, he said, โItโs worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment.โ
Iโd never heard of Charlie Kirk before yesterday, but since Australian news seems full of his death, I looked him up ๐ค
Live by the sword, die by the swordโ๏ธ
