And why the weird fixation with Charlie Kirk, when there are actual innocents dead?

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 61 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

I have no idea, especially when Kirk was just taking one for the team according to his own words

"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." Charlie Kirk (April 5th, 2025)

"... to protect our other God-given rights."

It fucking annoys me to no end when religious fakers spout off shit like this. God never gave 'rights' to people. He instead told believers how they should act (Matt. 22: 36-40).

Exactly. God would probably want us to not need, want, or use the guns in the first place.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Exactly. Can those idiots find the Bible passage that tells 'every yokel should be allowed to own a gun'? Nope. Ergo: No "God-given" right. Except when they see the creators of the 2nd amendment as gods worshiped by the gun-nuts.

It just adds a little extra sparkle that this is coming from a chick from Hell, lol 😆
