The original statement does not provide any direct context for Charlie Kirk's statement about kids and gun rights, which could lead to misinterpretation or misinformation ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]}. The lack of context could benefit those who seek to politicize Charlie Kirk's views on gun rights, by allowing them to interpret his statement in a way that supports their own agenda ^[1].
