Fact check: Did charlie kirk say its worth some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given right

Checked on September 15, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The statement in question claims that Charlie Kirk said it's worth some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. According to [1], Charlie Kirk indeed made a statement to this effect, saying "I think it's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal" [1]. This is further supported by [2], which quotes Charlie Kirk as saying "I think it's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the 2nd Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal" [2]. Additionally, [1] and [2] also support the claim, with [2] providing a specific date of 2023 for when Charlie Kirk made the statement [2]. However, other sources such as [6], [7], and [3] do not mention Charlie Kirk making this specific statement, but [3] does mention that Charlie Kirk was an advocate of gun rights [3].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Some key context that is missing from the original statement is the date when Charlie Kirk made the statement, which is provided by [2] as 2023 [2]. Additionally, the original statement does not provide any alternative viewpoints or counterarguments to Charlie Kirk's statement. For example, [4] mentions Charlie Kirk's defense of gun rights and Utah's permissive gun laws, but does not directly address the statement in question [4]. Other sources such as [6] and [7] do not provide any relevant information regarding the statement, while [5] states that no relevant information was found [5]. Some possible alternative viewpoints could include:

  • The idea that the cost of gun deaths is not worth the protection of the Second Amendment
  • The argument that there are other ways to protect God-given rights without allowing gun deaths
  • The perspective that Charlie Kirk's statement is taken out of context or misinterpreted

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may be considered misleading because it does not provide any context or alternative viewpoints, and it is possible that Charlie Kirk's statement was taken out of context or misinterpreted. The sources that support the claim, such as [1] and [2], may be considered biased towards a pro-gun rights perspective, as they quote Charlie Kirk's statement without providing any counterarguments [1] [2]. On the other hand, sources that do not mention the statement, such as [6] and [7], may be considered biased towards an anti-gun rights perspective, as they do not provide any information that could be seen as supporting Charlie Kirk's statement [6] [7]. Overall, it is crucial to consider multiple sources and viewpoints when evaluating the original statement, as different sources may have different biases and perspectives [1] [4] [2] [6] [7] [3] [5].
