Videos show that Kirk was going back and forth with a student about mass shootings and transgender people when he was shot.
“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” Kirk was asked.
“Too many,” Kirk responded as the crowd clapped.
“Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?” To which Kirk replied, “Counting or not counting gang violence?”
Seconds later, Kirk could be seen struck in the neck as he fell from his chair.
So that's why they're not doing the "despite making up x% of the population" argument, doesn't work well when they're 0.5-1% and are only behind 0.08% of shootings

Any number of mass shootings is too many, so technically he was correct.

He didn't answer the question, so he was not correct.

Absolutely spewing stuff from an unfortunate hole in his neck?

I was saying both being wrong and not answering the question; but when you're right you're right.
