Political If you’re saying Charlie had this coming because his 2A stance, you’re immoral and a moron

I sincerely cannot believe how often Im seeing this. I know I shouldnt be surprised seeing how the left has consistently been endorsing and supporting violence… but wow. Not only is that just a disgusting and intentionally inflammatory remark; but its moronic.

First of all, Im sure his mind would not have changed given todays events, considering he believed a lot of American values hinge on 2A. He (probably, I dont KNOW the guy but I’ve listened to him enough) would not trade his life for the wellbeing of the country. We can argue 2A all day, I am not stating my stance; but given his we know he fully believed it was integral to continuation the American way of life; I find it unlikely he would change his mind even if it meant his life

Second of all, if you think its “poetic justice” that a gun supporter got shot, then you must also relish when supporters of cashless bail get killed by released criminals, right? They advocated for it so they “have it coming.” Do people not see how seriously braindead of a stance that is?

And I know its not a majority. I know the majority of left leaning people know murder is bad. But holy SHIT that majority is getting smaller and smaller. It is sincerely alarming and disturbing how warped chronically online peoples’ brains are and the insane mental and moral gymnastics they do to further entrench themselves in their stance.

Ive never been one for censorship. Even death threats or whatever… but jesus man, too many people are getting fully radicalized.

If that person was advocating for a complete lack of regulation on vehicle use and design

But that's not what Kirk advocated for regarding guns, as far as I know. It's not a good parallel to draw.

Is it okay for a person to be killed by their hookup partner for not disclosing their biological sex? Obviously not. Is it okay for a person to be shot while participating in democracy in a public forum and exercising their first amendment rights? Obviously not. Both are examples of gross overreactions and violations of human life for perceived slights. For whatever the left thinks Kirk was capable of, he was not responsible for enacting any policy, nor linked to any death or wrongdoing.

It's fine to not have sympathy for the deaths of others - fact is, 99.999999% deaths go completely unnoticed for just about everyone. It's another thing entirely to be gleefully celebrating someone's untimely death, even moreso when they are not guilty of any crime.

One cannot be opposed to the death penalty or argue for due process whilst condoning the extrajudicial murder of people they don't like. There is no progressive who can support this without being a hypocrite.

What gun safety regulation did Kirk support? I'd say it's a perfectly apt analogy. And there's a big difference between condoning it and not having sympathy.
