Former Army Ranger and author Nicholas Irving addressed controversial remarks made by conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, who stated that some gun deaths are “worth it” to preserve the Second Amendment.
Irving, a responsible gun owner and advocate, expressed disagreement with Kirk’s phrasing, emphasizing that no amount of unnecessary gun violence should be deemed acceptable. While Irving supports the right to bear arms and understands the reality of violence in America, he calls for responsible ownership and regulation, particularly regarding military-style weapons. He highlighted the complexities of gun ownership, defending personal defense rights but rejecting the notion that fatalities are an inevitable price for liberty.
