if you don't see the irony in the circumstances of his death, you may be stupid
It only qualifies as ironic if Kirk would not support being a part of the "price worth paying" for gun rights. Do you actually believe he would've only accepted the deaths of others and not of himself?
Absolutely. Yes.
Nothing I've seen would suggest that he was not willing to die for gun rights. Seems more like you cannot even comprehend someone being principled and politically consistent. Seems like projection to me.
Yeah, that’s why he traveled around with all of those armed guards and security, right? Seems like sycophancy to me.
Edit: learn to draw, you unskilled bitch.
I guess people in the military aren't willing to die for anything either. After all, they wear body armor and use weapons against their enemies.
You can't be so stupid as to think a willingness to die is the same as trying to die.
Security and armed guards aren’t a sign of being willing to die for what you believe, they’re a sign of fear. Did Kirk ever join the military? Was he a soldier? That’s a moot comparison when talking about a fucking media personality who has been groomed and coddled by the GOP to be a rhetoric output machine since he was 18.
It's ironic whether or not he actually stands behind the words that he said
Using what definition of irony?
A situation is ironic if it defies expectation. Like how Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, was killed by a stingray.
Kirk being killed by a leftist extremist, who thought he was a fascist, using a gun, is pretty much in line with how you'd expect him to die.
if that is actually the most likely way for him to have died, then I retract my statement, and add the comment that the US is an even more dangerous place than I thought
