For the most part yes
This is a horrible misrepresentation of what Charlie said and you know it. Not even close to a fair comparison.
What he said is actually worse than my vague portrayal of it, IMO. He justified all Israeli violence against innocent Palestinians because his perspective is that Hamas "started it" on 10/7. He literally said that Israel bears no responsibility. Nevermind that Israel killed Palestinians regularly in the years leading up to 10/7. A year before 10/7 they killed a bunch of kids and tried to blame it on Hamas. Finally admitted it when faced with facts. Why didn't Kirk or anybody on the right think that murderous aggression justified Hamas retaliation? They are fine with it when the shoe is on the other foot.
But if we take that point to its logical conclusion, then one can just argue that the liberal who shot Kirk is absolved because he was retaliating for the conservative killing two Dems in June, because to him that's the starting point.
Nope, better just to not condone any form of political violence.

Freedom isn't safe. It never has been and never will be and that's not even remotely limited to the idea of personal firearms.to take the school kids and 2A discussion - I take that as a truism; if you have a 2A you are going to have instances where something like that happens. It's not condoning it or saying it's "worth it" or a small price to pay. It's like saying if you have cars freely available to people you are going to have auto related deaths. Or more extreme, you have have cars freely available some children will die.

Jesus told his followers to do those things. He didn’t tell His followers to give all their money to Rome and let them do it for them.The democrats support feeding the hungry,housing the homeless, healing the sick,loving your neighbor among other things. All things commanded by Jesus and fought against by republicans.
Unfortunately we have a track record on that one.I try to stay out of the politics of all this, because it’s generally an exercise in futility.
But I’ve concluded that I will never be able to wrap my head around somebody hating so much that it comes to this.
It’s sad, and frankly embarrassing, that our political discourse results in violence.
And anybody with half a brain cell should see this is a senseless tragedy no matter what.
