Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.
"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage." -Charlie Kirk

I always found this as a pro-gun argument to be weird as shit. It's true. But that's exactly why you should limit what people can have a gun. They might still kill people without one, but that's no excuse to make it easier for them to kill people.
Also, which type of gun. Most of the incidents with higher death counts weren't done with handguns, but with long range rifles, assault rifles and the like. Bit hard to shoot people from a roof when all you have is a pistol.
