Ever catch yourself wondering if liberty comes with a cosmic price tag, kinda like Mercury retrograding through our midlife crises? Well, buckle up, because a gem from 2023 just zoomed back into the spotlight—like a comet crashing into your morning scroll. At a Turning Point USA event, Kirk tossed out a reality bomb: “Having an armed citizenry comes with a price, and that is part of liberty.” He compares it to the everyday gamble of driving—fifty thousand souls lost annually, yet we rev our engines anyway for speed and freedom. So here’s the kicker, as Mars squares off with Saturn today—are we truly balancing our freedoms with their perils, or just spinning our wheels in denial? Dive in, question everything, and maybe, just maybe, rethink what cost freedom really demands. LEARN MORE.
One moment from 2023 is going particularly viral. In a resurfaced video from a Turning Point USA event, Kirk says, “We must also be real. We must be honest with the population. Having an armed citizenry comes with a price, and that is part of liberty.”
“Driving comes with a price. Fifty thousand people die on the road every year. That’s a price. You get rid of driving, you’d have 50,000 less auto fatalities. But we have decided that the benefit of driving — speed, accessibility, mobility…is worth the cost of 50,000 people dying on the road.”
