For those you you who are hung up on what charlie kirk said about of the second amendment being worth the cost of a few gun deaths. You should see the whole unedited segment. Watch it in full. If you arent willing to do so then ill simplify it. He first says that automotive deaths are 50k per year but as a collective we deem it to be worth the cost, hes off by a few k in the study i found but its a few years old. So ill go ahead and post some articles from the cdc to back this up. And ill add that gun deaths are slightly higher but they include su***de and accidental death not just homicide, the studies I found were from 2022 for both so its an even comparison. If you read both and still feel that what he said has no merit then you might just be part of the problem. If you cant sit and watch the full 8 minutes of his actual response. You ARE the problem. I said what I said. You dont have to like it.
