"we don’t know if this was a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration"
This comment is so absurd and insulting. It shows a couple things. The first being that this person has absolutely no clue how most right wing gun owners handle their firearms. Over the years I have found that most anti-gun people are extremely ignorant about this. They have been fed lies from activists for years about gun owners. And related to this, the idea that a dude in the crowd would accidentally hit Kirk is insane as well. The second thing it shows is the disdain this person has for Kirk.
He just feels small compared to Kirk. He knows Kirk would have crushed him in a debate.

I think moments like these, as tragic as they are shine a light on our hearts and the hearts of those around us. They expose areas where we need work. They expose evil in our hearts and the hearts of those around us. The emotions we feel are things we should examine and consider. Christians especially need to be doing this and remember the life and words of our Savior.

Now is a time for people to take a step back and look inside. We MUST be better. Charlie for better or worse never wavered in his beliefs and if you couldn't agree he never hated or held it against you. He still accepted and love you as Jesus would have wanted. Sure he held Christian beliefs and values but compared to 99% of the people I know on the hill he backed those values up.

So stop trying to bully me from my right to stating my beliefs. Hypocrit.
It is frightening to see a man who is debating with college students- exercising freedom of speech and democracy - stating his views and openly engaging minds, shot down and killed by an assassin.
But do we feel equally uncomfortable about the numerous and increasing number of drone strikes the US has perpetrated against 'enemy combatant suspects' for decades now, in breach of international law, where an estimated 50 bystanders are killed for every enemy combatant suspect?
There is no trial, no court, no jurisdiction even- just the global tyranny of US power projection into nations where no war is declared between them and the US. Hundreds of military bases globally enable these hi tech remotely controlled killings in the name of US imperialism.

This had literally nothing to do with you but your need for attention and dogmatic traits are just sad. Do better. Be better.

You hit the nail on the head. Everyone I know Right or Left who owns a firearm is not extremely disciplined with it. They lock them away, keep them out of reach of kids, etc. Not a single person I know would shoot a gun off to celebrate the hat is something we only have seen with insurgencies or robberies. Its not normal.
