when you allow gun ownership, you're going to have gun deaths. there is a cost to liberty. charlie kirk

Charlie Kirk expressed the view that gun deaths are an unfortunate but acceptable cost to preserve Second Amendment rights to gun ownership. He stated, "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." This reflects his belief that there is a cost to liberty when it comes to gun ownership. Kirk was a prominent conservative activist and vocal supporter of gun rights, often debating on college campuses. Tragically, he was fatally shot while discussing gun violence, underscoring the intense and complex debate around guns in America.
