Context on Charlie's taken-out-of-context gun quote: here
Religious rant (I would encourage you to scroll to the bottom of the reposting chain, to another person's and myself's debate. I believe that what I said in this repost was the best I've ever explained it, so I'll link it) here
If you're going to post politics, have a spine about it
I hate when people post something political and then, when too many people disagree in the comments, take it down. That is PRIVILEGE. People who are part of marginalized and oppressed communities can't do that. I can't delete part of my identity like a Facebook post if I don't like how people are reacting to it. Grow a spine. If you post something political, be prepared for disagreements. Don't just back out and bury your head in the sand.
(And to be clear, I'm talking about civilly disagreeing, not pure bigotry or cussing people out. There is a huge difference. I'm also not talking about posting something, then realizing you were wrong and deleting it because of that.)

I hate them. I’m pissed. RIP Charlie 🙏🏻
P.S. Just so people know, even if you don't argue with people in the reblogs and comments does not mean they've won the argument. It just shows that you don't want to argue with people.
So many fucking ghouls out there saying Kirk's death was justified because he said they should die because of what they believed in.
He never fucking said that.
Ahem..
WOAH, LOOK! AN ACCURATE SOURCE!
"Charlie Kirk was advocating for gun violence! His death is deserved! He deserves to be shot!"
Did you know that the one quote you are phrasing is a part of a whole speech? The speech was not about "gun violence". It was about tyranny and what the Second Amendment actually stands for.
- "Yeah, it's a great question. Thank you. So, I'm a big Second Amendment fan but I think most politicians are cowards when it comes to defending why we have a Second Amendment. This is why I would not be a good politician, or maybe I would, I don't know, because I actually speak my mind.
- "The Second Amendment is not about hunting. I love hunting. The Second Amendment is not even about personal defense. That is important. The Second Amendment is there, God forbid, so that you can defend yourself against a tyrannical government. And if that talk scares you — 'wow, that's radical, Charlie, I didn't know about that' — well then, you have not really read any of the literature of our Founding Fathers. Number two, you've not read any 20th-century history. You're just living in Narnia. By the way, if you're actually living in Narnia, you would be wiser than wherever you're living, because C.S. Lewis was really smart. So I don't know what alternative universe you're living in. You just don't want to face reality that governments tend to get tyrannical and that people need an ability to protect themselves and their communities and their families.
- "Now, we must also be real. We must be honest with the population. Having an armed citizenry comes with a price, and that is part of liberty. Driving comes with a price. 50,000 people die on the road every year. That's a price. You get rid of driving, you'd have 50,000 less auto fatalities. But we have decided that the benefit of driving — speed, accessibility, mobility, having products, services — is worth the cost of 50,000 people dying on the road. So we need to be very clear that you're not going to get gun deaths to zero. It will not happen. You could significantly reduce them through having more fathers in the home, by having more armed guards in front of schools. We should have a honest and clear reductionist view of gun violence, but we should not have a utopian one."
Much different than just a quote, isn't it? Now, with that context, consider the quote:
- "You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won't have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It's drivel. But I am, I, I — 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."
Giving the end of his speech also to show you that he had more than this simple quote.
"So then, how do you reduce? Very simple. People say, 'oh, Charlie, how do you stop school shootings?' I don't know. 'How did we stop shootings at baseball games?' Because we have armed guards outside of baseball games. That's why. 'How did we stop all the shootings at airports?' We have armed guards outside of airports. 'How did we stop all the shootings at banks?' We have armed guards outside of banks. 'How did we stop all the shootings at gun shows?' Notice there's not a lot of mass shootings at gun shows, there's all these guns. Because everyone's armed. If our money and our sporting events and our airplanes have armed guards, why don't our children?"
Charlie Kirk did not just 'argue for guns'. He's arguing that with guns, you can protect yourself from government tyranny. His question is: "If we accept driving as a necessary part of life, why aren't guns the same way? Why are they so controversial?"
When looking at quotations, it is extremely important to consider the purpose of the quotation. College class APA citing, 101.
If you want to take it from him:
Here is the source.
(Tumblr inherently turns off my reblogs, I don't do it myself.)
What they say: I wish conservative Christians would actually follow Jesus' teachings
What they mean: I wish I could effectively guilt trip conservative Christians into submitting to my political idealogy
Words are not violence. Silence is not violence. You know what is violence, though?
Violence.
When you stop having a human connection with someone you disagree with it becomes a lot easier to commit violence.
This is why I am so adamant about going outside and befriending people who don't vote like you. It is the only way to stop political violence. It is the only way to heal the country.
It is easy for some on the left to think of us all as extremist bigots who deserve to be treated with violence. It's easy because they don't know any of us. They live in bubbles where Democrats outnumber Republicans 10 to 1. They don't see us on tv except for politicians and carefully selected clips that make the person in them look as bad as possible. They never see anything of us outside of political contexts It's easy to think that's all we are when they never see anything else.
And when you genuinely don't know otherwise, it becomes very easy for someone to convince you that these 'others' are so evil, they cannot be reasoned with, that they must be met with violence.
It's a lot harder when you know the person they're talking about, when you know that they're maybe not always right but they mean well and they treat others with kindness. Why would you want to hurt someone you know? You'd never laugh if someone else hurt them.
That's what's missing from all this. And when we retreat further into our own bubbles and prepare for some kind of war, we only make it worse.
You really want to fight back? Make it impossible for them to deny your humanity. Put a human face on the word 'conservative.' Make that connection.
You don't want do it on my say-so? Fine. Then do it because those are Charlie Kirk's words at the top of this post.
God is good.
God is true.
God is just.
God is love.
God is our Father.
God protects.
God cares.
God redirects.
God is merciful.
God is powerful.
God changes us.
God can humble us.
God has a plan for each of us.
God never falters.
God never leaves us.
God is all-knowing.
God is ever-present.
God is my God.
I love my God.
Amen.
Don't panic. God's got you!
