The Charlie Kirk Memorial Freedom Center?
I think we can do better and finally address gun violence in America; it’s way past time. Call it whatever you want in Charlie’s memory. “Ban Together 4 Charlie.” “Charlie’s Memorial End to Gun Violence Act.” For our children, for our families. We, the American people, support gun legislation (58% according to PEW). You know who doesn’t? Politicians, lobbyists and the NRA.
We have an American problem: 10,745 gun deaths since Jan. 1, 2025, 10 mass murder incidents that resulted in 310 deaths. We need common-sense gun legislation that the wide political spectrum in the middle can agree upon. We need to tune out the noise and get it done. It is way past time!
That’s how you honor Charlie Kirk, Melissa Hortman, John Hortman, Mark Hoffman, Yvette Hoffman, the family dog and all tens of thousands of children who are victims of gun violence, whether through loss of their life or of their parent(s). That’s a tribute I can truly support.
