For those of you blissfully unaware Charlie Kirk was a right wing political activist who basically went around debating University students on culture war issues

Bro the video is actually traumatising too. It's very sad to see political violence rising in the United States, the country really is collapsing at an alarming rate.

it is interesting to think about how Kirk became a victim of a situation that he supported.

" I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other god given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational”

He tended to fall apart when he debated anyone other than 18 year old kids. Props to his team though, they knew how to make him look good by keeping him out of real debates as much as possible.

It's pretty shocking, they are rapidly devolving into a third world country. He has some pretty abhorrent opinions but nothing he deserved to die over lets be honest. That said, given his statements it is fair to ask, would he have any sympathy for himself? He died for what he believed in you cant deny him that.

My hot take is I actually dont support gun control in the US. The fact is, the US is that awash with guns and the "gun culture" there is so great that I just dont think gun control would actually work. The US has a violence problem - as a culture they are addicted to violence and it's glorified to a huge extent. Added to that rising inequality is creating an entire generation of lost and disenfranchised people. It's the perfect storm for crime and violence. I feel if they actually worked on these things, gun crime would naturally fall as a result far more so than with gun control.
