Unfettered 2A is worth the gun deaths according to Charlie Idiot here.

ETA: holy shit, saw a clip and damn, that dude is dead.

Statistics are always nice and vague until you become one of them.

Ironically this is exactly what the 2A was built for. To off tyrants.

Unlimited AR-15s and Glocks to every minority.

Then logically one could infer that they would rather die than prevent the senseless violence.

EDIT: I’m not advocating for anyone’s death or praising what occurred. I just wanted to point to how moronic his stance was. Why would anyone say any death from gun violence is okay?

I wonder if his stance on that position changed at all in the 0.5 seconds between the hit and loss of consciousness.

"You will not get gun deaths to zero. You can significantly reduce them....by having more fathers in the home and more armed guards in front of schools."

I fucking burst out laughing. This guy was a walking meme.

Internet medical expert here.

Arteries spray, so must have hit a vein. That is survivable if you get fast medical attention to stop the bleeding. It's dicey, but since it's already been over an hour, he either has enough blood left at this point or he doesn't.

Edit: nevermind

I just saw the clip too. Kirk fully sucked but I don't know how you can watch that video and not see a fellow human dying
