I agree that Charlie Kirk was both responsible for fomenting political violence and was the victim of political violence, but I disagree with the causal suggestion. I think it's more likely to be the opposite. When he said gun deaths are an acceptable price to pay for gun rights, I think that must have come from a position of never imagining he'd be far less likely to be one of the deaths.

From the article:

“ Kirk went on to say, “And by the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out … Bail him out, and then go ask him some questions.” "
