Unpopular opinion here, I know, but this seems like a case of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes." Guys like Charlie Kirk have made themselves experts at stirring the pot, and pressing people's buttons. They wallow in it. They've created a toxic space of shout-show hosts and grievance. Fox News and talk radio are not legit and exist solely to drum up dissatisfaction and outrage. MSNBC is the same, only not as good at it. It's no surprise they reach a point where a crazy decides to shut them the hell up. Today, it's Charlie Kirk. Tomorrow it'll be Rachael Maddow or Lawrence O'Donnell or some other left wing guy. Maybe some loudmouthed Hollywood type, or AOC. Basically these two extremes are both awful for all of us, and they specialize in shaking the soda bottle every day and have been non-stop for over twenty-plus years now. No one should be shocked when the plastic bottle bursts. The real surprise is that it hasn't happened before now. And that's sad in every way.
Charlie was the most milk toast guy around. He didn't deserve it dude, and I do agree both sides have become retards arguing with each other but now it's gonna get bad. This shit reminds me of the ending to casino and it's not looking good for liberal or conservatives right now.
 
Within a week, most people will have forgotten about this/moved onto something else, including all the people on xitter urgently calling for Trump to "do something".
They won't be talking about it, but that doesn't mean they will have forgotten it. Few people are still talking about Austin Metcalf, but he's still in their head and still coloring their response when things people like Shiloh Henderson or Iryna Zaruska enter the news cycle.
 
We like to think that guns are for personal protection, but they're not. They exist to protect us from other guns.

I'm not saying this mean Kirk deserved to die for having his views on guns. He didn't, nobody deserves to die for having an opinion. I just find it amuzing that (mostly) american people REALLY don't admit to question the validity of guns in a modern society and instead resort to nonsensical arguments to justify that stance.
You are seeing it from a modern point of view, instead of a natural one. It is natural for people to use guns to protect themselves as its the best force equalizer of our age. Modern society be fucked, nature is still nature; psycopaths live amongst us and I want every chance possible to protect my life and my loved ones', despite not being guaranteed my defense.

Banning guns wont make criminals go unarmed. It will only increase their aggression with their increased certainty their targets are defenseless.
 
Damn, what do you have to say about the other men, fathers, boys and girls, children who have been gunned down in schools, churches, grocery stores and other places that SHOULD be safe for them for the past 20 years, with retards like Charlie rushing in to call their deaths "worth the cost" to keep guns?

I'm not gonna join in on this pearl-clutching faggotry, I don't feel sorry at all that Charlie met his end this way. If it were anyone else, Charlie would've used their corpses as a podium to speak of "thoughts and prayers" and then moved on, business as usual.

My condolences to his wife and kids, but Charlie the person? Not so much. Don't get me wrong here: Political violence is bad, gun violence is bad, the way Charlie died is bad, but entirely consistent with how little he values the lives of other human beings. So it makes sense to return that same attitude. It's what he would have wanted, after all.
Holy shit I don't know what's up with you amerimutts but your fucking political discourse just makes everyone into lunatics. From the left to the right.
Stick to lolcow threads please I beg.
 
So this nigger didn't even kill Kirk with a real gun? Air rifles have that far of a deadly range?
don't know the deets, but airguns can can be really powerful.
25 cal isn't a big deal anymore
and the operating pressure...well they exceed what evenhigh pressure scuba tanks hold

they aren't dirty Harry Magnum Force type deals..but can you put a couple into someone's brain or neck..yup, absolutely

The Italians even had a military airgun due to some restrictions after...some stuff happened
 
I've seen people comparing guns to cars and I don't understand, what the fuck is up with this comparison? Deaths by car are pretty much only accidental or accidental adjacent like drunk driving. Guns exist for the sole purpose of killing someone, there are no accidental killings with guns (unless a guy shoots himself while cleaning it or some shit). We like to think that guns are for personal protection, but they're not. They exist to protect us from other guns.

I'm not saying this mean Kirk deserved to die for having his views on guns. He didn't, nobody deserves to die for having an opinion. I just find it amuzing that (mostly) american people REALLY don't admit to question the validity of guns in a modern society and instead resort to nonsensical arguments to justify that stance.
It's the acceptance that a world without them or the right to bear them and protect yourself and your home with them will be worse off in the long run than a world with them where some level of illegal/violent behavior with them will happen.

And that there is no practical way to make it so the criminal can never under any circumstances get their hands on a gun.

There's nothing nonsensical about that.

There are accidental deaths by firearm too.

Suicides as well.
 
To be fair, Twitter is pretty much all they have in their life. Their loved ones abandoned them, their friends abandoned them because nobody likes to be seen in public with the mentally ill man wearing a dress.
Unfortunately that's not usually the case. I cut the trannies out of my life and all my friends proceeded to demonize me and throw me to the wolves because I would no longer encourage their delusions.
 
I can't wait for this to have the stupidest ending like the shooter bragging about doing it Tomorrow on Snapchat or some shit, American Education system dictates this dude won't be at large for long.
