A 2023 Video Of Charlie Kirk Saying Gun Deaths Are “Worth It” Is Going Viral

One moment from 2023 is going particularly viral. In a resurfaced video from a Turning Point USA event, Kirk says, “We must also be real. We must be honest with the population. Having an armed citizenry comes with a price, and that is part of liberty.”

“Driving comes with a price. Fifty thousand people die on the road every year. That’s a price. You get rid of driving, you’d have 50,000 less auto fatalities. But we have decided that the benefit of driving — speed, accessibility, mobility… is worth the cost of 50,000 people dying on the road.”
