    When did he frame school shootings as good? Are you referring to when he said they were acceptable deaths if they were required to keep the 2nd amendment? Because that doesn’t make them a good thing, it makes them tolerable.

    Kinda like how we tolerate ~350 toddlers dying in swimming pools every year and nobody demands that we ban swimming pools.

      Stop using that tired false equivalence. The purpose of cars isn’t to kill. The purpose of pools isn’t to kill. The purpose of guns is to kill.

        So you want to outlaw everything designed to kill, I take it? Fine.

        What about police officers that use guns to kill people who are actively attempting to kill others? If they’re disarmed, more of these people will succeed in killing innocent people, right?

      I’ve had enough of you. I encourage everyone here to just block you.

        I see the real reason you guys hated Kirk so much. You seem very uncomfortable confronting differing opinions. That’s not politically healthy.
