Charlie Kirk - a martyr to the sanctity of the Second Amendment

Why do Rs have a sad on? Why are they not rejoicing in the fact that one of their very prominent mouthpieces has literally laid down his life defending their interpretation of the Second Amendment? Why, it’s almost Christ-like.

3. According to Charlie Kirk, it's the price we pay for the freedom enshrined in the Second Amendment.

They must be twisting themselves in knots trying to figure out a way to take away arms from liberals and minorities.

So did the children and adults in El Paso, and the attendees at the Jason Aldean concert in Las Vegas, and the grocery shoppers in Buffalo, and the students at Virginia Tech.

As far as "martyrdom" is concerned, he's a bit late.

10. Ironically, too late for him to schedule a stop in FL. FL is now an open carry state.

I have often pondered what would happen if you tossed a string of firecrackers into the middle of one of those big gun shows.

(Not genuinely wanting to hurt anyone in particular, just wanting everyone to see where the perverted practice of ammosexuality leads.)

15. I disapprove of his killing. Charlie understood his own need for accepting it.

Charlie Kirk: “It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment”

All those dead school children were 'worth' it to Charlie.
