This is probably what the republican party has been waiting for in order to enact even further authoritarian behaviors.

They've been working to sow hatred for their own and waiting to set a bomb off that would come after their own rather than just a random act of mass shooting against the public.

If he truly dies from this, that will be their trojan horse. Gun restrictions are coming.

I saw the video. The last two seconds you see he lost A LOT of blood.

Harrowing stuff. Did anyone know who shot him?
All we know is the suspect is an older white man. Nothing about him yet.

Seems the most appropriate response. I heard he might be dead.
From the close up video I just saw, Ill be surprised if he makes it.

There's a small, conspiratorial part of me that feels like Charlie Kirk was viewed as an "acceptable sacrifice" so they can fully enact martial law and arrest dissenters.

my ChatGPT responded so weirdly to this knew information. I asked if it knew who Charlie Kirk was. It gave me his quick bio and I told him someone just tried to assassinate it and it glitched hard.

Do people really talk to ChatGPT about stuff like this? Seems weird

Good luck with that. No one's giving up their guns in this country and they don't have the manpower to enforce it.

Which would be hilarious.

Kids: no
Concerts: no
Movies: no

But now they'll do it since one of their own was hit. Hell, they didn't impose guns after Trump was shot, or after that shooting years ago with that guy shot all those Senators.

And then they can find out quickly that they don't have the money and manpower for martial law long term. And that with the entire army siding with it

I'm curious, however, if Kirk's stance has changed given recent events.

If he survives he'll likely double down and use himself as an example of somebody who has been nearly killed but still supports the 2nd amendment.

This is going to be exceptionally good for his pocketbook if he survives.

No? He was probably one of their most useful ones considering he was a founder of Turning Point USA, which has very close associations with the GOP.

There are people celebrating, which while he's not generally liked is kinda disgusting.

But just as disgusting are some of the things the Right are saying.

Well I mean, that is what he believes, I'm not happy het got shot, I have always been anti gun and anti violence in this board and I remember it triggering a lot of people for some reason.

Hopefully he recovers so he can be an advocate against it now that he has suffered what a lot of people have had to deal with.

EDIT: also STP, high five.

Wait he was shot with a rifle? I assumed that it was a handgun with how close and small the shot sounded.
