Charlie Kirk.

Sure, his strong support for the Second Amendment was well known, but that doesn't make cherry-picking a quote without its full context any less lazy or misleading.

Nurse Boobies, Danger Vince?

I mean there is looking for offence and then their is actively trawling billions of posts and compiling a jpeg looking for offence.

😂

Okay, so you think Kirk's statements were "stupid and disgusting" Care to elaborate why exactly? Or are you keeping that a secret? If you've seen the full context and it changed nothing, spell out what makes them so dumb instead of just name-calling.

So when Paul Pelosi was attacked with a hammer that time, you came out and denounced it, right? And that time when Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered, you spoke out against scummy right-wing violence too, yeah? And when Josh Shapiro's home was torched in an arson attack, you called that out too, didn't you? And you called for a halt to the attacks on Tesla showrooms as well, no doubt. Gretchen Whitmer, Steve Scalise, January 6th all those events had you calling for restraint from your buddies on the right-wing, didn't they? Even now, you think that holding migrants in illegal camps and putting federal troops on city streets without the consent of the Governor is also scummy and you're calling that out too? Were you even a little sick in your mouth about Trump's crypto scheme, the golden trainers, the bibles, the tacky watches? The rape and felony convictions?

Or are you just offended at the irony of a gun nut getting a bullet in the neck? That someone who preached violence toward others met a violent end themselves? That's not scummy, it's just karma.

Unfortunately, cars are pretty much a necessity in a modern economy. If you wave the magic wand and made it so that no ordinary citizen could get in their car or lorry tomorrow, the chaos that would create in just 24 to 48 hours is hard to imagine. And I don't mean just outrage, of which there would be plenty, but getting things from A to B quickly via road on the daily.

On the other hand, with guns, if you made it so guns were no longer easy to find and use overnight by ordinary citizens, there would be outrage I'm sure, but no economic shutdown or basic necessities no longer available because they can no longer be delivered to shops or you can't get to the shop to buy them (or you can't even get to work and so on). Would The Purge happen, as some American conservative commentators would undoubtedly claim in this scenario? I doubt it, but if it did - if the only thing keeping the USA from turning into an orgy of criminal violence is the possibility of every citizen being heavily armed, I think that points to a very broken, paranoid society with no social cohesion or trust, and something that would need to be urgently fixed and maybe thereby rendering the need for so many guns unnecessary.

It's all a bit of a moot point, anyway, because gun control advocates in the US seem to largely accept that a widespread ban on guns will never happen as it is too deeply entrenched. The main thing to get outlawed nationwide would be private gun sales and gun show sales. I suppose you can never stop a legitimate gun owner from giving a gun to someone else, perhaps for a few quid under the table, but you can hand them their arse, legally, for doing so.

Okay so now youre straight-up attacking me by calling me "thick" (nice typo there, by the way) all while dodging my original question and tossing in some vague jab about his religious beliefs with zero actual substance or explanation.

And whats this about "hate baiting" how exactly is Kirk's statement "obvious hate baiting" that only "stupid people fall for"? If its so obvious spell it out instead of more name-calling. So who's really the "thick" one here?

Charlie Kirk's strategy with Turning Point USA focused heavily on university campuses to engage and recruit young conservatives. He used viral 'Prove Me Wrong' debates as a way to push back against what he saw as liberal dominance, sparking conversations about free markets, limited government, and cultural issues.

This approach effectively created shareable content that boosted his following and fundraising, while also organizing rallies, voter registration, and activism to make conservatism appealing to Gen Z.

As a centrist, I’m not fully aligned with his views, but I can appreciate how well this strategy worked in mobilizing young voters.

He was a very polarising figure but in America you are perfectly entitled to criticise Islam. And there's plenty to criticise. The left absolutely has a love in with it.

Funny you say he's a white supremacist but he was said straight to black people in those debates that nobody should be hired because the colour of the skin but based off their skills. For a man who openly stated pregnancy due to rape shouldn't be allowed termination I don't think he'd lie about people of different colour being viewed as equal.

Some of his views in DEI, immigration, Trans etc I'd agree with. Others like gun control, abortion, Russia and Israel I'd be against. Very polarising figure with a beautiful family. Didn't deserve to be shot but it's revealed a cancer in our society. Those who openly celebrated his death. Thankfully some are being fired but not enough.

Who have been fired?

What I have learnt in the last year or 2 is that the left is as bad as the right and neither side can be reasoned with .

Do you think he says the same about a white pilot?

If it was a woman, or there were diversity quotas for white males, he might
