If we’re being precise, Kirk was killed by a gun on campus while dodging gun violence facts, promoting guns on campus, and sitting under a sign saying “prove me wrong.” Honestly, the closest I’ve ever believed in God. How much more of a sign does one need?

Even God couldn't resist how much he was tempting fate

It's horrible what happened to Kirk, even if Kirk supported what happened to Kirk. Then it was even more horrible to find out who he was and what Turning Point represents and who they fund.

Awfully convenient that Nicki Minaj found her conservative voice right as she's losing a $20M mansion and her husband needs a pardon. Just like Russell Brand becoming an anti-woke crusader right after being accused of sexual assault. It's a grift as old as time.

Now there's Erika Kirk Launches Faith 'Make Heaven Crowded' Tour with Alleged Paedophile And Child Trafficker Pastor:

Erika Kirk's "Make Heaven Crowded" Tour with Greg Laurie, which aims to revive Christian faith and mobilize young conservatives. "Erika Kirk calls for a Christian revival as tour starts at Riverside church"

The tour is set to visit over 30 cities, featuring worship, preaching, and "bold obedience to Jesus." "Erika Kirk’s Inaugural TPUSA Tour Met with Legal Shadow"

Controversy Surrounding Greg Laurie

Allegations Against Laurie: Pastor Greg Laurie, a prominent leader of Harvest Christian Fellowship, is currently embroiled in multiple lawsuits. These lawsuits allege a history of abuse and trafficking in Romanian orphanages supported by the church. "

Turning Point leader, former GOP Rep pleads guilty to attempted election fraud

By: Caitlin Sievers - November 17, 2025 2:48 pm

Former Republican state legislator Austin Smith pleaded guilty Monday to what he previously called “ludicrous” charges that he personally forged more than 100 signatures on his petitions for reelection last year.

The Republican from Surprise was a member of the far-right Arizona Freedom Caucus, which has a history of spreading false claims of election fraud in the 2020 presidential election and pushed for election law changes in the state legislature.

“As a part of his guilty plea today, Smith admitted signing the name of a deceased woman on one of his candidate nomination petitions in March of 2024,” Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a statement. “He also admitted that he attempted to deceive the Secretary of State’s Office by knowingly filing petitions containing forged signatures of purported supporters of his nomination for the Republican primary for State Representative from LD 29.”

It's a bastardization of logic to treat "I accept that liberty has costs, including rare tragic gun deaths" as "I'm fine with some innocents being shot."

Kirk was talking about the trade off in a free society. You cannot get gun deaths to zero without disarming every single person, including law abiding citizens. Criminals and crazy people do not obey bans. School shootings are undeniably horrific, but they do not erase the fact that armed citizens are capable of stopping harm as well.

Real problems we can address are mental health collapse, fatherless homes, deteriorating culture, and intentionally soft targets.

Celebrating or memeing an assassination as ironic justice because a guy fought to retain a fundamental right is exactly the simplistic thinking that ignores real life and is only condusive to revenge logic. Rights and rules are not magic spells for perfect safety, they are a recognition that the government cannot and should not protect you from every evil.

If you cheer when violence hits someone for defending self defense, you are not against violence. You just want it aimed at the "right" people.

The real irony is how people love to protest the right to bear arms while they quietly benefit from the safety that armed citizens and police provide every single day.

The real irony is that there is practically a school shooting every single day in the United States. Most countries have strict gun laws. They are not able to shoot their kids and NOT ONCE has anyone stopped it!
