Reminder that Charlie Kirk was an extremist, who wanted to “remove” (read: genocide) people he didn’t like.

    I’ve never condoned Kirk’s actions, and as an Aussie it was amusing that after he railed against Australian gun control that he was shot mid dog whistle on a question about gun violence.

    But Kirk is irrelevant to the fact that your average man is law abiding and not an addict.

        Speeding is a bit different from holding someone at gunpoint during a home invasion.

        Which is why speeding won’t get you a felony conviction…

            Well that depends on what country we’re looking at but if you ever find yourself being held at gunpoint I doubt you’ll find that equivalence very reassuring.

              I dunno, at least with a gun pointed at you you cpukd maybe talk them down. A car is just going to be bam, dead.

      Your average man in which context? From a poor background and family with troubles? Then yea in that context mostly likely your average man. But reductive statements like this would not help a discussion of this type really.
