Because it is incredibly apt. He and his campaigns and influence have worked very hard over the years to stop progress on gun reform, aimed at preventing the very kind of violent actions that he was unfortunately subject to today.

This doesn't condone violence but offers context as to how he would've assessed a similar situation if he weren't the target.

2nd amendment doesn’t protect against mental health or someone deciding to hurt someone.

What do you mean, Charlies whole argument is that good guys with guns solve shooter problems instead of limiting gun ownership.

I get it

But are we suggesting that he should have deployed counter snipers?

[Hikikomori]

I think we're suggesting that his solution isn't really a solution.

I don't see that he suggested a solution. Just the opposite, he pointed out that gun laws also aren't a solution. Much like the war on drugs isn't. Much like "though shalt not kill" didn't stop the inquisition, or the Moorish conquest.

Worked in Australia. Works in Europe. It's not that hard to understand.
