Nonsense. I hold Kirk's views in contempt for the same kind of logical fallacies, misinformation and willful ignorance I read in posts on these boards. Most of it is simply indefensible. Even his professed pride in his HS education is badly misplaced.
His rationalization that the 2nd Amendment required gun deaths to survive is stupid and insulting to anyone who has lost anyone to gunfire. There's no missing context to that rationalization, It's simply a fucking HS kid's take on the issue.
Now I CAN deplore all of that AND his murder. But he HAS by his standard contributed to the strength of the 2nd Amendment.
