"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other god-given rights."
Quoting Charlie Kirk, co-founder of Turning Point USA, who was shot to death yesterday. I wonder if his wife and children agree it was worth it.
Charlie also thought that the Civil Rights Act was "a huge mistake," that "Jewish money" was ruining American culture, and that, according to the Bible, gay people should be executed.
Of course political murder is terrible and wrong, but, recalling that Charlie said "I think empathy is a made-up New Age term that does a lot of damage," I'll save my New Age empathy for all the school children killed, wounded, or traumatized in school shootings, including the ones affected by the shooting yesterday at Evergreen High School in Colorado.
