what was charlie kirk talking about when he was shot

Charlie Kirk was talking about mass shootings and gun violence when he was shot. Specifically, witnesses said he had just begun debating someone about gun control and mass shootings at an event at Utah Valley University. One witness noted Kirk was "ironically" talking about gun control right before the shooting occurred. The debate involved questions about the number of mass shootings and incidents involving transgender Americans. Kirk was struck by a gunshot in the neck during this discussion and collapsed immediately afterward.
