Charlie Kirk quote after a Tennessee school shooting:

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths each year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational. Nobody talks like this. They live in a complete alternate universe."
