We are all doomed.

We’re only doomed if we don’t get maga violence in check and stopped. These people are willing to kill and are armed to the teeth. We MUST get them under control. If we don’t not, then yes, we are doomed.

What are you trying to say?

For example, maybe politicians should stop posing with guns in their ads.

Democrats need to embrace guns. Because I have absolutely zero interest in gun control after yesterday. We need to be heavily armed to defend ourselves against these violent cretins. They already are. We are almost entirely defenseless. That balance of power needs to change.

Again, my point was this goes beyond "gun control". It also includes being mindful of rhetoric about guns and trying to act/look tough, especially on the part of political leaders.

If we were all armed more would die. So, no.

Even if it turns out that it is indeed a far-left person who killed this influencer, it still doesn't make it OK to vow mass retribution on all Democratic groups. Whenever a far-right perp tries to kill people, we're not on here saying the GOP needs to be disbanded, and deep red cities put under martial law.

The most violent rhetoric ALWAYS comes from the right.

It’s just the crips and the bloods on a national scale. Neither side is willing to give up. We’ll see how it goes.

The time is now to end the violence. Otherwise it is revenge after revenge after revenge. Never ending.

If every person sitting in the audience had a gun, nothing would have changed. Maybe they would have shot the old guy that turned out to not be the shooter? Seriously wondering how yesterday changed your view of gun control.

I hope Republicans come out in droves in the midterms and gain a supermajority in both houses based on this violence. Then it’s Amendment time.

What amendment are you looking for?

Charlie Kirk's death will be long forgotten by the midterms.

Inside job.

Who were TPUSA’s biggest financial backers? Who actually controls the show? Kirk didn’t even go to college. It was a $100M year operation.

Someone posted upthread they knowingly took millions from Russia for a disinformation campaign. Probably major GOP donors.

It’s a nonprofit, right? So it should have a form 990 with all the donors.
