While that’s tantalizing, it’s still going well into /tinfoil land if suggesting Trump or one of his goons ordered a successful hit on Kirk as a distraction from the Epstein business. That would suggest they’re competent enough to pull something like that off to begin with, I thinks…

If we're going tinfoil speculation, Kirk was one of the few on the right pushing for a full release of the Epstein info, and Trump apparently released info about his shooting before the press even got the chance. People are already jumping to that conclusion it was a government silencing.

Agreed, but the longer we go without a shooter being caught the more likely we enter into conspiracy territory.

Combine this with Netanyahu/Israel being oddly on-top of everything the past day and it all comes across as very strange. Kirk provides a distraction from both Epstein and Qatar.

He died doing what he loved, advocating for guns. Dude's last words were gang violence, can't make this shit up lol.

Charlie was assassinated answering a question about transgender shooters and we now know that the cartridges in the rifle used by the shooter had transgender messages engraved in them. Charlie was killed by a domestic terrorist whilst responding to the problem of domestic terrorism. If you want irony, there it is.

Just FYI, the 30-06 Mauser that the shooter used can be legally purchased in Canada, in Europe, and across most of the world.

Allegedly. They have yet to release what the messages were.

If america had better gun control, which is expressly what mr. kirk was advocating against, perhaps he would still be debating swaths of college kids today.

Given they've released photos of the gun but not the rounds, I'm doubtful it's not just the right wing "exaggeration" that happens with every prominent violent act.

Like I just mentioned, the Mauser 30-06 is a conventional low capacity, bolt-action rifle commonly used in big game hunting. It can be easily acquired in most jurisdictions and even if there was gun control, it wouldn't have prevented his murder.

I don't think we're in a reality where we can reliably trust what the authorities say, especially in a scenario like this one where everything is so politically-motivated.

Guess open-air rallies are gonna be a thing of the past then, america's reaching her boiling point soon.

Local law enforcement already saying that claims of slogans on ammo has not been verified and conflicts with other evidence summaries. Doesn't matter though because the thought has already been put out there for those who want it.

Indeed. Even here they're easy to get. With a FAC one could walk into any Canadian gun shop and buy one. Here's one Newmarket, ON retailer of the very same gun.

No, there need to be limits to freedom of speech

No. As someone on the (very far) left I vehemently disagree with this. Because guess who's going to be setting limits on what speech is allowed now? That power will eventually be in the hands of someone you disagree with, and then what?

For those that haven't watched, here's a great defense of free speech by Christopher Hitchens, speaking right here in Toronto many years ago.

Of course, freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences of that speech. That is something else entirely.

I was never a fan of the guy, nor do I really care about the motivations and theories being spread. He was father of a 3yo and 1yo, who will never know their dad nor have him around. As a father of 4 and 2 yos, this makes me really sad.

There is a new conspiracy going around already. Apparently the entire murder is a hoax, never happened. This is based on close inspection of the video of the murder that is floating around. In the 2 seconds leading up to the shot, Kirk is holding a mic and there is a large ring on Kirk's ring finger. As the shot hits him, his hand is jerked violently out of the video frame and when the hand reappears in the frame, the ring appear on his pinky finger instead. As if by magic. So the conspiracy theory, apparently, is that footage is doctored and therefore no murder has occurred? I guess that's how that logic works?
(not sure myself how the logic works, I would have thought that reptiloid aliens controlling the democrat elites is a much more logical explanation for the magic jumping ring)
