Charlie Kirk should not have been killed.
For the sake of his and all of our children keep guns out of the hands of assassins through common sense gun control.
Charlie Kirk’s life was worth more than the 2nd Amendment and so are ours.

They did it so close to the time. Can an injunction move fast enough? Next step is canceling the parade perrmits and shutting downn the National Mall so they can arrest/beat up the people who show up to peacefully protest.

I argued for two months with Spirit about why she was telling me not to go to DC for World Pride. I canceled my hotel reservations AT THE DUPONT ROYAL SONESTA HOTEL last week. Our community will suffer violence because we refuse to NOT assemble peaceably. Still wish I were there. Let the world see.
