he isnt to blame for his death in any way. are you really going to sit here and tell me and everybody else that anybody who defends the second amendment is to blame for their own death? this is an asinine position. gun control laws are not going to prevent straight up assassinations like this. the reason this occurred is because there was somebody out there who didnt like what he was saying, so he or somebody else decided that they wanted him dead. its as simple as that. this is a problem of how radicalized people are when it comes to the way they react to opposing worldviews. thats what this is 100% about.
i agree with your point on the left vs right toxicity in our country and how extreme people have become. also keeping the incident in charlotte north carolina in mind, we need the second amendment now more than ever. its becoming increasingly clear that you are safest, especially in urban areas, when you are strapped. everybody should be trained on how to use a firearm. im not a gun guy myself, but with the way the world is, there is no doubt that i will be in the near future learning how to shoot and purchasing one. especially because i have a family. ill be damned if someone wants to break into my house and victimize me and my family. its not happening on my watch. too much evil out there to be left unprotected.Â

Gun control doesn't infringe on the second amendment.
Gun control isn't a banning of guns.
Gun control has factually be proven to reduce gun related crime and incidents. (Accidental or Intentional.)
Australia has over 4 million legally registered guns today, which is an increase from the 3 million before gun control.
We are still a free country, we are still a thriving country... And our children can go to school and be safe without needing armed guards, prison bars on windows and more.
To argue to the contrary flies in the face of decades worth of evidence that Australia has presented since it introduced gun control.
In the end, he lived by the statement that it's acceptable to have gun related deaths and he became one of his own statistics, so I stand by the words that he is partly to blame for his own death, he lobbied and argued to retain the status quo, he lobbied and argued to keep guns as a free-for-all, it is partly (not entirely as it's a systemic issue) his own fault that he was shot.
The USA needs to change, because the current status quo isn't acceptable, isn't working.
One death is way to many.
