I read your piece to my MAGA friend (he would never read it on his own because you wrote for Jimmy Kimmel), and he stopped me after your response to Kirk's Second Amendment quote, specifically "The argument he lost was his own life." He said that Kirk's death proved he WON the argument. I was stunned. Then, using your words, I replied, "Do you think his wife and children believe that his gun death was prudent and rational and worth the cost?" No reply. I had to share because I'm still trying to make sense of this MAGA "logic."
This is the most sane and measured take I’ve seen. Thank you for all you do.
Perfect. Thank you.
Best commentary yet. In an ocean of guns, some always come ashore. This was inevitable.

Thank you, Bess. I just donated. The irony is beyond belief.
