The conservative founder and president of Turning Point USA, deaths in exchange for the preservation of Second Amendment rights is part of America's reality.
"You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won't have a single gun death," Kirk said at a Turning Point USA Faith event on Wednesday, as reported by Media Matters for America."That is nonsense. It's drivel. But I am—I think it's worth it.
"I think it's worth 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. It is rational. Nobody talks like this. They live in a complete alternate universe." Charlie Kirk speaks at Culture War Turning Point USA event at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio on October 29, 2019. Kirk said at a Turning Point event Wednesday that gun deaths are unfortunately"worth" it for the preservation of Second Amendment and"God-given rights."He added that"having an armed citizenry comes with a price, and that is part of liberty.
There were 48,832 gun-related deaths in 2021 per CDC data—the highest single-year number on record and up 8 percent compared to 2020., also citing CDC data, reported that in 2020 firearm-related injuries became the leading cause of death in individuals between 1 and 19 years of age—surpassing both traffic-related and nontraffic-related deaths for the first time.
