Early reports say weapon has been recovered with clues showing that trans ideology may be a factor. Time will tell.

What clues?

For a guy who believed guns were more important than innocent children's lives?

What a vile, evil country America is.

What clues?

I believe it was written on the bullet casings they found...

Also just a tad less racist than Nick Fuentes. The bar was already on the ground and he somehow tripped over it. Yeah let's give some national honor time to that dude. Great.

The worst part of all this is Kirk was made a martyr, when he doesn't deserve to be remember as much of anything but a political provocateur that traded in spectacle and outrage.

Americans want guns so we can protect innocent people from criminals and a tyrannical government.

Not to gun down children and people we disagree with.

He founded Turning Point USA and he was much smarter than you.

What kind of provocateur was the person who shot Charlie Kirk. You have a right to your opinion but what you have posted here is not an accurate representation of the man,

Her Governor ordered that flags be flown at half-mast for her assassination.

Yeah, I know.

Americans want guns so we can protect innocent people from criminals and a tyrannical government.

Yeah, that's what they claim, and yet, when the signs of a tyrannical government appear, they stay home and shout at their televisions. (when they're not storming the capitol, that is)

Not to gun down children and people we disagree with.

No, no, you guys seem to prefer using motor vehicles and the power of the state to take down people who disagree with you.

(before anybody reports that last sentence, I'd be happy to provide citations if you're interested)

This is false! There is evil in every country as well as good. It absolutely was vile evil that committed this act.

You just can't help yourself. Have to continue insulting him by comparing the great Kirk to some state rep. no one had ever heard of. Anyway, he's to be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, so that's nice.

Nice. My OP was about something Trump did. I didn't say anything about Kirk in this thread except to describe him as "a media personality," which is an accurate description of his career and his role in our politics. Why did you felt it necessary to deride Melissa Horton like you did? Perhaps you're the one who can't help yourself?

Anyway, he's to be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, so that's nice.

I never put much stock in those, even before Rush Limbaugh got one...
