Charlie Kirks wife forgives the killer

[strangerandstranger]

To people who said her husband was hateful and what they preached was hateful, she just forgave the killer, as God would. Powerful speech.

The messed up young man who thought shooting man he didn't like was the answer, will go to prison and no longer be with his boyfriend. Erika Kirk no longer has her husband and her children have list their father.

You want the President to do something about crime? What part of pardoning insurrectionists, pardoning rich fraudsters, and crashing the economy while embezzelling a fortune for himself will achieve that?

The right to BEAR arms

She's referring to the American right to sunbathe. The lesser known 101st amendment.

@DdraigGoch how is Trump crashing the economy? You do know that Biden issued over 4,000 pardons, the vast majority relating to criminal convictions?

Livestock need to be shot. Livestock predators need to be shot.
Sporting competitions.
A few people need them for their work (police, security guards, etc.)
Other than that, not much.

What narrative is that then
Show quote history
The one where, despite preaching hate, saying they’d force raped minors into giving birth and claiming it’s worth a few deaths to allow any Tom, Dick or Charlie to own a gun, they present themselves as loving and kind Christians.
And people will swallow it. Look at this thread.

Just ONE example.

This is off topic but if I get shot to death and my husband just 'forgives the killer' after a week, I will COME BACK AND HAUNT THE BASTARD

Omg at least try to avenge my death for a little while 🙄🙄🙄

Crime is already down in DC. I think it’s acceptable to let the national guard take over if the local government is unable or unwilling to take action. He’s threatened to do the same in Chicago. Let’s hope that gets the mayor to actually take steps to make the city safer.

(but considering it’s Brandon Johnson, probably not)

Did that make you feel better????

I'm dyslexic. So well done you!

What steps could the Mayor take?

Get rid of guns? 😁

Did you mean to quote me?

One example of what?

Australian gun stats for example. Long term trends.
1 in 100,000 people die from firearms per year, most of those are suicides. A few accidents. 1 in a million people die from firearm murder.
USA firearms are the leading cause of childhood death. Nowhere else has school shootings like the USA nor does anywhere else have the mass public shootings like the USA.

Yes. Unlicensed guns to be specific.

Stop and frisk is very effective. And I have said this is a great strategy, over and over again in this thread.

I'm not sure that bussing insurrectionists to the Capitol is anti-violence either.

Yes because you claim no one on this thread has said that his views on gun ownership was hateful and you are wrong.

Going to apologise?

So what did I say that was aggressive?
Or are you just mud slinging?

Where are the stats on stop and frisk? Genuinely curious here. Interesting to see how that impacts crime.

Also, how do you get rid of unlicensed guns? Do they not try and do that already?

I haven't said it here yet but I do think his views on gun ownership were hateful.

USA has guns as the leading cause of death in children. He was advocating for a cowboy culture where children are gunned down at school and have to go through intensive in-school training to hopefully survive an active shooter situation. They've even invented backpacks that can double as shields in a shooting.

And his view was also unChristian.

Apologise? 😁 For what, exactly?

Erm....sorry?

How does that quote demonstrate what you’re saying? Are you unable to read?

Yes. I'm autistic and I do feel better.

Gun death by homicide in Vermont, one of the states with relatively high gun ownership rates, is 2 per 100,000.

You actually don’t have to remove gun ownership rights to tackle this problem.

I do not give Kirk much credit for things he has done, but in fairness to him the position he outlined with guns and abortion re the hypothetical about his daughter, at least had the conviction of logical consistency and is the only position that pro gun or absolute anti abortionists can have without being open to cries of hypocrisy.

Any of the other pro gun or anti abortionists who try and dodge the question are being disingenuous so at least his answers are seeing through his views to their logical conclusion and he didn't try to hide or obfuscate or say "I don't deal in hypotheticals" or anything else to avoid acknowledging the pain that his views would require others to go through (and ultimately himself).

They're still appalling views but at least he was acknowledging the logical cost of the views he held.

That was my post you quoted. Do you understand how commas and the word “and” work when separating items in a list?

Like car deaths. How many are acceptable? You could get to zero if you took all cars away, but it’s not a realistic measure, is it?

The difference being that, while a car can kill or maim when used irresponsibly, it wasn’t designed to do specifically that.
