Kirk strongly warned against an all-out invasion or forced regime change in Iran, emphasizing the country's physical scale compared to historical U.S. conflicts, calling it a "catastrophic mistake". He argued that such a conflict would be a "quagmire" far more difficult than Iraq or Afghanistan, often highlighting that "Iran is larger than Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan combined". He accused "warmongers" of trying to achieve a long-sought, but misguided, regime change war.
To caution lawmakers advocating for aggression against Iran, Kirk often referenced Iran's historical resilience, questioning the strategic wisdom of an invasion and challenging proponents to consider the consequences of regime change. He aimed to highlight the potential for a long, difficult conflict.
Since all the comments are now about school shooting; my favorite saying âwhen guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have gunsâ itâs not the guns themselfs we need to ban. Itâs we need to REGULATE who is allowed to have them. Just like if you want to get a Medical weed card, you have to forfeit the right to own a gun. Thatâs what everyone forgets. Itâs a RIGHT not a PRIVILEGE.
So pointing out youâre cool with worshipping a pedo is insane. Thatâs no joke and itâs interesting that thatâs how you justify it, his proven base is slow adults, racists and pedos, no joke which are you, Hint? Most are at least two of those- again not a joke - put yourself on a list
When youâre in a position where you pose the highest chance of threat to agents by moving your vehicle, and when such agentsâ assumptions will be, typically, threat, they act. I think it was too in the moment to consider that, which is why I said it kind of isnât on her, nor would it be on agents whose assumption is necessary
It doesnât matter if she posed a threat or not? What the hell are you on about? You were literally just saying they had the right to shoot her because she posed a threat to them. So youâre saying it doesnât matter whether she posed a threat or not, it was justified of them to murder her either way? What is wrong with you? Youâre saying an innocent womanâs murder is justified even if she didnât pose a threat. Youâre either a bootlicker or youâre just plain stupid. You need some serious help.
You need to work on reading comprehension. Even if she wasnât âactuallyâ a threat, she posed a threat. If you look at the video, her tire spin before moving was the extremely throttled. If it werenât for the ice, she wouldâve hit ICE. The agent did suffer injury, so there was damage, and I wouldnât blame them for reacting to that.
The agent SHOULDNâT HAVE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET TO BEGIN WITH. They told her to go home. Thatâs what she was trying to do. Again, I pose the question: if YOU are standing in front of a moving vehicle, what EXACTLY do you think is going to happen if you shoot the driver?
She wasnât interfering. She was trying to go home. Do you REALLY think she was trying to run them over? She literally stopped to tell them âIâm not mad at youâ before pulling away (as directed by ICE mind you) to GO HOME. I donât know if you have driven a car before, but if she REALLY wanted to run ICE over, it would have been easy as they were all lined up in the middle of a street for some stupid reason.
Remember, theyâll say cope about Charlie Kirk and that âhe was just a podcaster,â like that changes the morality of murder, but when someone says something about Renee Good or George Floyd, suddenly the tables turn and youâre the bad one. I say joking about anyoneâs death is bad, but thatâs a very unpopular opinion among both political sides.
Only one side endorses it legitimately. The president, the choice for the republicans and conservatives has mocked the deaths of people. Heâs mocked brutal attacks. Republican congressmen, senators. governors always endorse violence. The moral equivalent the left has is random anon users on twitter and YY. The right is okay with murder as long as itâs against people they donât like. They still to this day support trying ti get Chauvin out for the murder of Floyd
Letâs play this game. Find me a single leftist politician who has said theyâre glad their political opponent is dead. Cause if youâre right it should be easy to show me that itâs everyone on the left including the people the left elects. Not just randoms on twitter. Iâll wait.
No, but if we ban guns what should the police do? Just try and talk to the guy and ask him not to shoot them too? What about if someone breaks into my house, which has happened to me, and wants to steal my valuables? Should I just kindly ask him not to take them and not shoot me and my family? Do you really think thatâs going to work, it wonât. If we ban guns, they will still be manufactured or imported illegally. It happens with drugs today, and happened with prohibition years ago.
I know ignoring questions is a good tactic of when I got proven wrong, No, it doesnât, but doesnât a gun stop them from shooting people up, too? Who walks in that mall with what? It isnât social workers with clipboards, itâs cops with guns. Is banning them going to save lives? âItâs simple question.â Because you canât seem to answer.
Okay then, Iâm so wrong for just âassumingâ that you went with the route of gun ban like any democrat that has never owned or knows anything about guns I have ever met. Does that just make you so proud now? Do you want a cookie? You still have no solution to the gun issue, so what is it, âsimple question?â
It will. Some individuals will undoubtedly violate a law. Should we not outlaw murder because some people will still murder? States with the weakest gun laws in 2016 had an aggregate level of gun violence more than 3 times higher than the states with the strongest gun laws per CAP States that require background checks for all handgun sales have significantly lower rates of intimate partner gun homicides of women and police officers and gun-related suicides
Okay, but gangsters are not getting their guns legally. What do I do when one enters my home to steal my valuables, which is very possible as I have mentioned my house has been broken into before? Should I kindly ask him not to steal them and to not shoot my family? Iâd rather have a gun to protect myself from that. You donât really know until it actually happens to you.
For example, a few years ago there was a shooting at my local amusement park. It was a kid around 17 I believe he was and the gun was stolen out of a vehicle somewhere in Ohio, I believe it was Columbus. When the police went into the park to find him, they had their guns drawn to shoot to protect themselves and others. How would outlawing guns have prevented that shooting from happening? What would the police have to protect themselves?
Having a gun in your home makes you twice as likely to die by homicide and 3 times as likely to die by suicide Unintentional shootings are 4 times more common than legitimate defensive uses Victims who defend themselves with a gun are more likely to lose property (13%) than those who defend themselves through other non-lethal means (10%)
Murder is a poor analogy. That is an action, not a neutral object. Murder can be done in a variety of ways, but there is a subset involving firearms. Also, this seems very disingenuous when you consider that brandishing a weapon is considered gun violence which would be no surprise, among many other non-lethal, sometimes even undirected at people that are still considered âgun violenceâ. Do you have sources for those specific sections?
I didnât have one at the time of the break in, and thank God we were not home. My dogs were the only one here and I praise God they are still with us. Suicide is a mental health issue, not a gun issue. Having a gun does not affect whether or not youâre suicidal. No gun owners that I know, I know many, have ever done any âunintentional shooting.â They hunt or to protect family. If I lose property to save my family, then I donât care. Their lives matter more than anything else I have.
Suicide is a mental health issue. Firearms, though, are by far the most lethal, but common method of suicide, far more deadly than a bladed weapon or pills. Limiting access to firearms for suicidal people will save so many lives. Like I said, states with weaker gun laws have higher suicide rates. Your personal experience doesnât trump statistics. Statistics 101. Defending yourself with a firearm is more dangerous for your family bc it can escalate the situation from a burglary to a shootout
Never said only law enforcement can have guns lmfao, plus there are other ways to defend yourself than a firearm: martial arts, blunt object, blade, etc. Gun control isnât about nobody having access to guns, itâs about limiting the access of guns to those who are a danger to themselves or others After that, itâs a personal choice, one I oppose because it puts you in a lot more danger, but if youâre not actively a danger to yourself or others you can own a firearm (unless youâre under 21 imo)
Okay, statistics still does not answer my question of what I should do when someone breaks into my home with a gun and my gun was taken away because we outlawed firearms. Should I let them kill me and my family to âsave livesâ until the police (that were hopefully called) get there? You never really know how it is until youâre actually in that situation.
Few changes to current-Allow people to legally own firearms to protect themselves and their families. If we encourage that and encourage people to go to malls with one on them and have law enforcement in buildings with large amounts of people, such as malls or schools. Seeing a physical gun capable of taking care of the problem immediately should deters them from wanting to do anything way more than just saying âitâs outlawedâ because they know they will immediately be shot right then and there.
I would also have a federal requirement of a training in some sort of gun safety and things like that, just so it is prevented. Iâd also enforce schools, malls, etc. to hire armed police officers (amount depending on building/crowd size) that are trained in dealing with an issue in those specific buildings. This worked well at my high school
This would make public places less safe, states with concealed carry laws experienced a 15% increase in violent crime after their implementation And even if guns donât cause more crime, their presence makes already-existing robberies and assault significantly more deadly. Defensive gun use is rare, occurring in less than 1% of crimes. Plus, armed civilians can complicate law enforcement responses. Look into the story of Gabby Giffords, rest her poor soul
Okay so a shooting happens. No guns allowed in the building, other than the shooter that got his/hers illegally. Wait until more people die in the 5-10 minutes police response time, which still doesnât immediately save lives? Or should have a few people there with a gun on them, including a cop, to hopefully deter that from happening at all, or to take care of the situation before the police get there to save more lives?
Trump is more polarizing, he was the only one of the 3 to call for hanging political opponents, the only one of the 3 to call an election âriggedâ when it wasnât, the only one of the 3 to encourage an armed insurrection at the Capitol, etc. etc. Like Bush didnât have this many attempts on his life, neither did Reagan. This isnât a left-wing violence thing, this is a Trump thing
âI don't care for Trump much, only reason I vote him is because I agree with more of his policies than Democrat polices.â Which policies? Are you talking about no new wars? Stopping inflation and lowering prices on day one? How about tariffs which raised prices for products for Americans?
And even if the person was transgender, THATâS NOT A BAD THING! An overwhelmingly amount of mass shootings are white males, but no one says a thing about that. But the second it MIGHT be a transgender person, you waste no time saying it is, even if itâs not, as if being transgender is why there was a mass shooting. I suppose youâll continue questioning why next month is Pride month as well. đđ¤Śââď¸
Iâm not celebrating her death. Thatâs the thing you canât wrap your head around. I donât think Good shouldâve been shot, she shouldâve stayed tf home instead of aggressing on agents. Instead, she decided to try and run over an agent and her own actions caused a repercussion. Kirk was talking to college students. Tell me how tf how that deserves a bullet?
Neither of them deserved to die. Good didnât aggress on ice. Her last words were literally âIâm not mad at youâ. And what do you mean she shouldâve stayed home? Are people not free to leave their homes now? Good did nothing wrong, she was murdered in cold blood by an âagentâ who separates families and sends children to concentration camps. I truly donât understand how anyone can defend ICE.
On November 11, 2011, a man named Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez fired multiple shots from an assault rifle at the White House from Constitution Avenue. Several bullets struck the residential living area, though the family was not home. He was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison. Three men were arrested during the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver after plotting to assassinate then-candidate Obama using high-powered rifles.
An Alabama man named Adam Benjamin Hall was charged with interstate stalking after driving to the CNN presidential debate site in Atlanta on June 27, 2024, with the intent to kill then-President Biden. He was unable to find the correct building and was arrested. In August 2023, FBI agents attempting to serve a warrant on a Utah man named Craig Deleeuw Robertsonâwho had made repeated armed threats against Biden ahead of a presidential visitâshot and killed him after he brandished a firearm.
