CT ahead

Ya know, I'm seeing where some on both right and left are saying this was an assasination- but t needed something big to distract from epstein. Will the CT folks be sad if this simply turns out to be someone with a grudge against Kirk, or someone who thought he wasn't right wing enough?

1. Stats...

Approximately 30% of Americans own a firearm. Approximately 60 million Americans have some sort of mental illness.
Trump currently has an approval rating among Trump voters of 85%. So, approximately 15% of trump voters don't approve of Trump. .
And I would say that more than 30% of trump voters have a firearm and a big chunk of the 60 million with some sort of mental illness are Trump voters. Way more. And CK was 100% a vocal jerk. If this were an Agatha Christie story everyone would be a suspect.

So what does this mean? I don't know, just thought it would be interesting to toss stats out there CT style

5. A gaslighter getting shot is not a surprise to me at all. No digital trail of a shooter at all, weird feeling, eh?
