I've said it before and I'll say it again: people who oppose gun rights deserve to be shot.

I hated that the Left tried to leverage Kirk's opinion on gun control, after they killed him, into, "How would you feel now?" 

Exactly the same way. "This is exactly what I said." 

Way to make a martyr. 

Both sides do it..  "Never let a crisis go to waste." And if an usable event didn't quite make it to crisis stage, (ab)use the media to push it into one. Then use it for your agenda.

I disagree. There are points where the Right goes - "OhmyGod. This is what we mean. We don't want to see anyone celebrate this, We don't want to leverage this to promote our agenda." 
The Left goes, "Look at this shit! EXACTLY what we told you! This... right here. No time to have regret or compassion - we have to move forward with our agenda first, we can come back to the tragedy of this later." 
And I feel like Kirk solidified this in a LOT of America's zeitgeist. I guess we'll see in the midterms - but I think the Kirk assassination sent a lot of the American politic - especially younger males - HARD right. Harder right than I am. Than Ig is. 
We'll see. But I think the Left radicalized a lot of young (white) males hard Christian Right. 

And... I'm OK with that. The Left DESERVES the Handmaid's Tale at this point, maybe.
