          More like “hilarious”, especially since he was literally doing his “we must accept shootings for the 2A” shtick. Literally would be something written in a dark comedy.

          Reminds me of a joke.

          Back during the 1950s, a USSR elementary school is discussing the definition of different words. The teacher asks “who can say what catastrophe means?” Dmitri raises his hand, “if my mother dropped her groceries on the way home, that would be a catastrophe.” Teacher: “not quite, that would be a misfortune, it wouldn’t be a catastrophe.” Svetlana raises her hand and says “if a plane were to crash, that would be a catastrophe.” Teacher: “not exactly, that would certainly be a tragedy but not a catastrophe. Then Sasha raises his hand, “if our great comrade Stalin died, that would be a catastrophe.” Teacher: “very good! That would indeed be a catastrophe. How did you know that was correct?” Sasha: “well, it wouldn’t be a misfortune, it wouldn’t be a tragedy…”

            Haha, I’ve heard this same joke before but with Ian Paisley, the unionist leader in Northern Ireland.

            “How did you know that that would be a tragedy, if my plane were to crash?”

            “Well it wouldn’t be a great loss, and it definitely wouldn’t be an accident.”

            It’s a good one.

      Ironically this is exactly what the 2A was built for. To off tyrants.

      Unlimited AR-15s and Glocks to every minority.

        This is unironically the same idea that started the Black Panthers. People noticed that peaceful unarmed protests were violently busted by the cops… But peaceful heavily armed protests were politely watched from across the street. So they started arming the people who were protesting, and those people were largely minorities.

      I wonder if his stance on that position changed at all in the 0.5 seconds between the hit and loss of consciousness.

      Internet medical expert here.

      Arteries spray, so must have hit a vein. That is survivable if you get fast medical attention to stop the bleeding. It’s dicey, but since it’s already been over an hour, he either has enough blood left at this point or he doesn’t.

      Edit: nevermind

        He lost consciousness instantly, indicating significant loss of blood pressure towards the brain, i.e., an artery was hit.

        Secondly, not just hit but completely severed, explaining the massive non-spraying blood loss; similar to why a garden hose without the nozzle just flows. Only if it were a small enough puncture it would spray.

      I just saw the clip too. Kirk fully sucked but I don’t know how you can watch that video and not see a fellow human dying
