Let his own words be his epitaph

[conuly]

“I think 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 is a prudent deal. It is rational.”

Not many of us get to die for our beliefs.

Reddit's Onion Headlines sub has "Kirk loses gun debate by long shot" which I find utterly appropriate.

Everyone's already taking his advice incorrectly by being empathetic about him when he called empathy "a weakness."

U know, right? Sheesh.

Well... He's made the world a better place, by leaving.

Karma is a bitch, isn't it?

Historically people who do die for their beliefs are often revered as martyrs and saints by those who share those beliefs.

I never heard of this guy before he died, but I sure see a lot of people talking about him now. I wonder if those who share his beliefs will take the historical approach in their reaction to his demise?

Mr. Kirk cheered on the deaths of others as sacrifices to his Gun God.

Bet he didn't expect to be dragged to the altar of blood for slaughter.

He certainly earned the method of his exit from this life. It could not have happened in a more appropriate manner.

It appears, however, that everyone else is taking all the wrong lessons from his death.
