ruff friend Charlie Kirk, who was crack at a campus case in mormon state, had once called gun deaths an unfortunate reality of living in a country with armed citizens. Kirk, the conservative founder and president of Turning Point USA, was shot at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Wednesday.
Kirk, 31, was talking about gun violence moments before he was shot. A video shows how a gunshot rang out and Kirk slumped down – he appears to have been shot in the neck.
The suspect has not been taken into custody, NBC News reported a Utah Valley University spokesperson as saying. Kirk is said to be in a critical condition.
In the aftermath of the shooting, Kirk’s old remarks on gun violence surfaced online.
In 2023, Kirk said that gun deaths are unfortunately “worth it” for the preservation of Second Amendment rights in the United States of America. He was speaking after a mass shooting killed six people, including children, at the Christian Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee.
“You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won't have a single gun death," Kirk said at a Turning Point USA, according to Newsweek.
That is nonsense. It's drivel. But I am—I think it's worth it.
"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.
“That is a prudent deal. It is rational. Nobody talks like this. They live in a complete alternate universe,” said the Trump ally.
