You already see it everywhere in this thread. People completely whitewashing Kirk's image as a "peaceful debater", and gaslighting anyone who had even the slightest disagreement with his politics to "behave" themselves. Remember when the sitting U.S. president said contacting the Gov. of Minnesota (Tim Walz) after Melissa Hortman's assassination was a "waste of time" not just a few months ago? And it couldn't be more ironic that Kirk at this very same event said people dying was the price to pay for a completely unrestricted 2A.

This isn't a "both sides" issue. One side has shown time and time again it will resort to cruelty, violence, and severely harmful rhetoric. That anyone here would try to wave their hands around like it's "everyone's" fault is insane.
