You don't have to search long to discover that Charlie Kirk was a loathsome individual.

Even when he died, his last words were an attempt to mislead people into thinking that trans people were more violent than they are.

they were actually "counting or not counting gang violence" which is a racist dogwhistle.

Unless there's been some new trans gangs

Liberal gun nut here. It's useful to set gang violence aside to seperate it from gun violence that is random, which is what most people fear. IRL the term is almost always used to mean, "brown people killing each other doesn't count".
