    Reminder that this is Kirk’s stance on guns:

    Unfettered 2A is worth the gun deaths according to Charlie Idiot here.

    ETA: holy shit, saw a clip and damn, that dude is dead.

      Statistics are always nice and vague until you become one of them.

        A quote that hits like a purposeful steel toe boot obliterating unprotected genitals.

      Ironically this is exactly what the 2A was built for. To off tyrants.

      I wonder if his stance on that position changed at all in the 0.5 seconds between the hit and loss of consciousness.

      Internet medical expert here.

      Arteries spray, so must have hit a vein. That is survivable if you get fast medical attention to stop the bleeding. It’s dicey, but since it’s already been over an hour, he either has enough blood left at this point or he doesn’t.

      Edit: nevermind

            Odd place for a Babylon 5 reference, especially a Vorlon.

      I just saw the clip too. Kirk fully sucked but I don’t know how you can watch that video and not see a fellow human dying

        It is absolutely something to meditate on, that’s for sure.
