BRATTLEBORO-Charlie Kirk very publicly said that he believed it was worth the cost of a few gunshot deaths each year in order to preserve the Second Amendment.
I don't know if anyone got a chance to ask him how he would feel if his own death was among those, but certainly there is irony in the fact that that has now happened - and incredible hypocrisy in the fact that people are losing their livelihoods for pointing that out.
