I’m confused about the back and forth about shooters. An audience member said five for transgender shooters (the numerator), then asked Kirk how many mass shooters total (the denominator)?

So the audience member was trying to disagree with Kirk to suggest the transgender shooters are a small proportion?

And the Kirk comes back with the gang violence question to suggest what?

I’m genuinely confused here, no agenda, just literally don’t understand the transcript.

Kirks point was that most school shooters are either transgender or gang members.

No clue, either way the amount of mass shooters is hilarious.

I think Kirk was saying trans shooters are more common if we remove gang violence from shooting stats (lower denominator).

Still bs.
