    “I think it’s worth it. It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God given rights. That’s a prudent deal. It is rational,”

      It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year

      For context, he was talking about school shootings. He was advocating for 8 year olds being shot and killed in schools so people could have a gun to go shopping at Wal Mart.

      I don’t really want to watch the video of him talking again, or of a human dying, but is that actually what he was saying when his neck just did that?

        Paraphrased:

        Guy at mic: How many mass shootings were perpetrated by trans people?

        Charlie: too many! (Crowd cheers)

        Guy at mic: and how many mass shootings in general were there?

        Charlie: Counting or not counting gang violence? (Gets shot, dies)

        The quote above is from a different interview out panel thingie and is his response to someone asking why he doesn’t think we should do more about school shootings. I’m pulling this entirely from memory so I’m paraphrasing a bit.
