“I can't stand the word empathy. I think it's a made-up, new-age term that does a lot of damage”-Charlie Kirk
I would disagree
Context, please?
“I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights,”
Again I disagree
Again... context, please?
MY context is, you misrepresent whatever Charlie Kirk's actual quote was, because people who LEGALLY have guns and concealed carry are a deterrent to crime, and
actually save lives, because they are able to defend themselves and others when criminals try to prey on them.
We consistently see that in mass shootings, criminals are taken out faster than even the police could possibly arrive, and that saves lives and results in less people getting killed. And places that are gun free zones are selected as targets consistently, and in those cases, MORE people are consistently killed.
It is a FACT that twice as many stabbing deaths occur than gun deaths annually. Should we outlaw knives?
The guy who stabbed a Ukrainian girl on a train in Charlotte, NC, used a knife, not a gun.
It is a FACT that about 60% of "gun deaths"( in that deliberately misleading liberal term), implies an exaggeratedly high number of shootings, and hides that about 60% of that total every year are suicides, who would without a gun just overdose on sleeping pills, or jump off a building.
If all guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have 'em.
