I sincerely hope he recovers. I also hope he reflects on these words of his from 2023.

Charlie Kirk: “You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won’t have a single gun death … 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.”

ETA: the full quote because it’s a little fairer than the shortened one I had originally

Orange Ape: "We must all pray for Charlie Kirk, who has been shot. A great guy from top to bottom.”

I didn’t know Charlie Kirk was versatile.

“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” — Charlie Kirk, April 2023

“Gurgle, gurgle.” — Charlie Kirk, September, 2025

4618

Hey! You made me blow something out my nose!

4619

More dark humor:

4620

I thought it interesting his real last word before being shot was “violence”.

4621

Kirk has passed away. The man they arrested as the prime suspect is not the shooter. I guess this means the shooter is still at large…

4622

Well at least it was an easy death. Not like polio or small pox or something.

4623

If you dig into the details, the vast majority of those 1.8 M produce little or no food. Here’s a gift link to an analysis that says the number of productive farms (more than $100,000 gross income) is less than 400,000:

4624

Thanks for that…interesting analysis.

Still, my point remains. 400,000 is a heckuva lot more players than 2 or 3.

4625

Yeah. I have a cousin in law who has a suburban house with an elderly goat being mistreated by being stored in an 8’x8’ pen. Due to the zoning of his house, that goat makes it legally a farm and he gets all sorts of tax breaks and subsidies and stuff.

Until the goat dies; then he needs to get another goat. Fortunately, they’re cheap.

“I think empathy is a made up New Age term that has done a lot of damage”. — Charlie Kirk

4627

Was going to bring up the empathy quote. Y’know what, sorry, Charlie but having known loss I choose to be empathetic towards your family.

4628

My “Going to hell” thought of the day:

Leopards complain that today’s face is awfully small.

The University of Utah changed gun policy last may.

Under the changes in HB 128, which went into effect on May 7, individuals who are 18 years old or older and have a current Utah concealed weapon permit (CWP) may carry a weapon on campus, including in an “open” fashion

“Our highest priority is preserving public safety on campus,” said Keith Squires, chief safety officer.

Red Utah has been an open or “constitutional carry” state since 2021.

That really needs to be carved on his tomb stone. In fact would argue that this day was the closest that the erroneous notion that the second amendment protects us from tyranny has come to being accurate since the assassination of Huey Long (90 years ago almost to the).

Far more often it seems that those who fall to “2nd amendment solutions” are those who are safe guarding rights.

4631

I was think exactly that: it should be his epitaph.

4632

Well, you know that the solution to gun shootings is… to have more guns freely available to more people.

4633

“He lost the gun debate”

4634

I think the question is… was Chuck carrying? Maybe he’d have had a chance if he had been!
