Kirk was divisive that is for sure.
The entire flag hugging, MAGA, patriotic thing is lost on me to be honest.
Unfortunately if you’re going to undertake these type of events in a country that allows guns, you’re always putting yourself at risk.
In a way, I’m really surprised it doesn’t happen more frequently, or it might be the fact that maybe other rallys that are undertaken by Politicians and Activists have better security.
Then you consider that they’ve had Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinlay, John F Kennedy, Robert F Kennedy, Huey Long and even people like Malcolm X, this has gone on for years and it won’t change.
Then you consider that the US had another school shooting in Colorado this week, with 2 students injured, it’s crazy. It just gets swept under the carpet.
The reality is, school shootings are getting worse. 386 students have died since 2020. One death should have been enough to change the needle on the dial but they stick to outdated laws with the belief that it’s the correct way forward.
It’s such a massive bunny to put back in the box, however the idea of starving them of ammunition that was mentioned a few pages back, would be at least a small step in the right direction.
