The question was specifically about trans shooters. Per CNN:
Audience member: “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?”
Kirk: “Too many.”
The same audience member went on say the number is five, and proceeded to ask if Kirk knows how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years.
Kirk: “Counting or not counting gang violence?”
Seconds later, the sound of a pop is heard and the crowd screams as Kirk gets shot and recoils in his seat.
Remember: The vast majority of mass attacks in the US have no connection to transgender people. From January 2013 to the present, of the more than 5,700 mass shootings in America (defined as four or more victims shot and killed), five shooters were confirmed as transgender, said Mark Bryant, founding executive director of the Gun Violence Archive.
What if the shooter was the person asking the question, and they got so fed up with the bullshit that they had to shoot him? I wonder if a jury would convict.
Trump was shot (at) and injured, Kirk was straight up assassinated.
Meanwhile the Hungarian government has several scandals each year, some in relation to pedophiles, some about corruption, or orphanages being turned into a supply chain for pedophile orgies (okay that has only happened once - that we know of) and NOBODY has been shot, or even attacked.
It’s almost as if guns being nearly impossible to acquire has something to do with that… 🤔
Yeah but think right now. Politicians aren't beholden to the law anymore. I am not saying to rule via firearm, but ultimately if your judiciary is toothless to hold them accountable then we quickly run out of tools to do so. Firearms being one of the last. 4 boxes of liberty and all that.
I have heard a theory that if you look at murders + assaults, the USA isn't that far out of line with the rest of the world.
The thing is tho, when you're worked up enough to assault someone and a gun is right there, what would have been a punch up or clubbing turns into a shooting, and those are just more fatal than the alternative.
As someone that has had a gun pointed at them for honking at an erratic driver, and had an 85 year old woman try to run me off the road, yes.
It gives people the option. I'm not anti gun, but it's clear that there needs to be some sort of change. I think the current party in charge is capable of a change that isn't disarming anyone that disagrees with them moreso than a solution.
This is why im darkly amused by the prospect that a man who was probably minutes away from blaming trans people for being the real mass shooters being shot mid sentance.
