'Charlie Kirk Says Gun Deaths 'Unfortunately' Worth it to Keep 2nd Amendment' [View all]

(Newsweek) "Charlie Kirk, the conservative founder and president of Turning Point USA, said during an organizational event on Wednesday that gun deaths in exchange for the preservation of Second Amendment rights is part of America's reality."

"Kirk's comments come about one week after three children and three adults were killed at the Christian Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee."

"The Nashville mass shooting was the 130th mass shooting in the United States in 2023, according to the Gun Violence Archive, an online database of gun violence incidents across America using data collected from law enforcement, media, government and commercial sources...The U.S. has averaged more than one mass shooting per day since the start of 2023, per the archive, which puts the nation on track to exceed the 647 recorded mass shootings of 2022."
