A gun license literally means you are licensed to use this weapon for sport or self defense.

I’m not a public figure but I support the 2A, would you feel sorry for me if I was shot giving a speech?

Would you feel different if Charlie was murdered by a machete or hand grenade?

I don't know what that has to do with anything. Plus, the 2A forbids mandatory licensing for firearms users.

It's not about whether someone supports the 2A or not. It's what they do with their lives that matters. If a person's life's mission is to deny white privilege and defend the 2A despite its obvious risks, then make a public statement that school shootings are an acceptable price to pay so that we can have it, then no, I'm not going to feel sorry for that person if they are shot. It's poetic justice. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

A machete, yes. That has a legitimate use; as with a car, its primary purpose is not to hurt people. A hand grenade, no, as its primary purpose is to harm people, and Mr. Kirk's mission was to protect the rights of those who want to possess devices whose sole purpose is to harm people.
