Charlie Kirk

[Vinty]

The ease of obtaining a gun licence, be interesrting to know their backgrounds. Lots of nutjobs could easily slip through the net due to them having no criminal convictions. Then they flip for some reason. If it wasnt a gun it would be something else or an ilegal gun? who knows.

Shotguns have legitimate uses,.same with..22 rifles and pistols for target shooting.
In America you can still buy military style assault rifles which have no legitimate use.

RIP Charlie Kirk, this is very sad news. I had heard of him as I've seen him before on YouTube. He debated people on political topics and was a free speech advocate. A lot of the subjects he debated were controversial and inflammatory. He received many death threats. Sadly, there are insane people out there that will murder people if they disagree with their views, and he has paid the highest price.

The availability of weaponry in the US is way too high. Humans can be unstable and dangerous, and there is no way that guns should be as available as they are to the general US population, and that's why very sad things like this keep happening there.

Sitting on the fence here but the rabid left call out pretty much every body to their right as racists.

These days we have a range of political positions - so why do people just want to stir up issues - and that goes to the left and the right

Money

I have never heard of kirk until tonight.

Same here. Who is he? What is he known for?

A statistic.

The right to own a gun in the US is tantamount to the right to religious belief. Some states don’t require proper background checks.

Apparently he had previously said that death was a price worth paying to protect the second amendment.

That backfired on him then, didn’t it.

Because there is a real risk we are transitioning from a democracy to a dictatorship.

He ate his words

Easy to get, I have a shotgun licence and firearms cert, anyone without a criminal background can get one. Perhaps you was refused one as they didn't deem you stable?

Do you shout: “Keep away from my cherry picker” before using it?.

He was a far right political activist targeting young Republicans.

He made stuff up frequently, among his opinions he didn't like: black people being allowed to fly planes, gay people, civil rights, atheists, Martin Luther king, gun control, women being equal to their husbands etc.
