I won't "debate" with someone with so much bad faith he would say with a straight face "1 mass shooting is too many" when there are hundreds every year.

Why don't you say the actual number? Why didn't Kirk say the actual number? Because it would make their argument -that trans people are such a menace to society they must be barred from their right to bear arms (for starters, because his hate of trans people was deeper than that)- ridiculous.

It was a smear. Point.

“You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won’t have a single gun death,” Kirk said a week after three children and three adults were killed at the Christian Covenant School in Nashville in 2023. “That is nonsense. It’s drivel. But I am — I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth (it) 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.”
