“You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you
won't have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It's drivel. But I... think it's
worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year
so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given
rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.”

Thoughts and prayers

I have limited sympathy for people who at best, are immoral grifters enriching themselves championing the suffering of others and at worst a white nationalist who radicalized young men to fascism.

Anyone who believes that violence of any kind is the solution to political turmoil has failed to learn a single damn lesson from the entirety of human history. Violence is never, ever the solution. It may sometimes be the last resort, but it should never be the solution.

I have to believe that anyone who's experiencing an iota of schadenfreude over this is not considering the ramifications moving forward. It's not just a matter of the fact that this was a young man with kids who just watched their dad die in front of them, this was an ally to a government that is looking for literally any excuse to target its perceived foes - and college campuses across the country are about to become a lot more dangerous for political dissidents.

Maybe. But you'd think that Trump's own near-assassination just over a year ago would have done that already.

You're right Shaun, nothing good came out of the attack on Paul Pelosi, any school shootings, and the murder of the two Minnesota politicians and their familys just in the last couple of years.  With Kirk gone there will most likely be a vacuum to fil and another chucklehead will rise.

".....now is not the time to discuss gun laws and safety....."

...is what the "conservatives " have been saying over the past 20 plus years.

And also this......Thoughts and Prayers

I think the gloves are really going to come off over this.
America is about to get even more ugly in how people are treating each
other.

So......

Time to send the National Guard to that hell-hole called Utah?

The Republicans need help to control gun violence running rampant throughout Utah Valley.
