This man died promoting non-violence.

The actual thing that the man was promoting:

>Turning Point USA CEO and co-founder Charlie Kirk said of gun deaths on April 5, 2023, "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."<

No part of that promotes violence.

		I did not say that he promoted violence. But he did not die promoting non-violence either. He died promoting false narratives, in a damaging way.

I don't think that does his memory justice. He would not like to be described that way.

Remember his accomplishments, like fighting for the freedom of the man who attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer.

To say he promoted nonviolence is an insult to the things he stood for and the vision he had for America.

"fighting for freedom" did he really? Or what is it a sarcastic comment? Where is this fight you reference?

		It is a matter of public record that he encouraged his followers to pay the bail of the man who attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer. He fought for that man's freedom, because of the violence he committed. Kirk did not stand for or promote nonviolence; quite the opposite. To suggest as much is to forget the things the man did in life. In much the same manner, he would not want his death used to weaken 2nd amendment protections.
