After reading up a bit, one quote really stuck out from the extremist right's latest martyr [View all]

[DFW]

"You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won't have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It's drivel. But I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational. Nobody talks like this. They live in a complete alternate universe."

--Charlie Kirk

Well, he got his wish. Was it "worth it?" Too bad we can't ask him now.

"The spirits that I summoned, I can now no longer be rid of them."
