Hubbell adds:
"Although Utah prohibits public colleges and universities from banning real firearms on campus, Utah prohibits the presence of simulated weapons on campus, 'such as toys, props, or weapons that do not work, and [which] cannot be used as decoration in university housing.'
In other words, an undergraduate in Utah can keep a loaded handgun on his desk in the classroom but cannot use a squirt gun as a frat party decoration."

"It’s a tragic irony that Kirk, who has long defended the 2nd Amendment and criticized gun control as a means of curbing mass shootings, was killed in such a manner. There was another shooting today nearby in a Denver, Colorado, high school, which left three people injured.
This is America, where there are more guns than people."

"In the wake of a school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2023, Kirk said the cost of 'some gun deaths' is 'unfortunately' worth it in order to preserve Second Amendment rights, calling it a 'prudent deal.'”

"I think it's worth [it] to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.”

"The FBI has mismanaged and botched this whole thing from the start. FBI Director Kash Patel posted that the suspect was in custody. It turns out, they racially profiled an Arab Charlie Kirk supporter who had nothing to do with the shooting.
Earlier, the FBI claimed they found another suspect who happened to be a mentally ill man known for disrupting political events and gatherings in Utah."

"The FBI was then forced to issue a retraction, admitting it doesn’t have the suspect in custody as of this writing. ...
The head of the Utah FBI Field Office was a well-respected career agent named Mehtab Sayed, a Pakistani woman. She was fired a few weeks ago because she was Pakistani and a woman. This is in addition to all the firings of most senior FBI officials as Trump exacts revenge and retribution on the FBI."

"Also, Trump has placed a 22-year-old intern with zero experience, named Thomas Fugate III, to lead the domestic threat assessment division within the FBI. He’s not the person you want in that position."

"Far-right influencers and violent extremists are posting identifying details about people they view as celebrating or glorifying the murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. The campaign has been swift and widespread and has already led to at least one person losing their job and others receiving death threats."

"Trump is not a man to seek calm. In terms of political violence, he’s an arsonist, not a firefighter. He mocked the assault on Paul Pelosi and joked about 'Second Amendment people' going after Hillary Clinton. He has hailed the January 6 rioters as heroes."

"Because Kirk was murdered, it is difficult for some to be honest about how he spent his life. Kirk radicalized young people, which is grotesque. He whitewashed slavery, spread racial hatred, vilified vulnerable people, attacked the rights and protections of people of color, women, and the LGBTQ community. To use your platform or voice to normalize or aggrandize any of that is despicable."

"My heart is breaking, once again, for trans people. The moment Kirk was killed the Right Wing space lit up with baseless conjecture, much of it focusing on the assumption that this had to be the actions of an unwell trans person, which is part of their general worldview."

"I cannot emphasize this enough: this fascist regime has identified trans people as a scapegoat after years of laying the foundation for Right Wing hatred of the group and seeing how Democrats, moderates, and liberals have shown an unwillingness to stand up for them because of 'pragmatic electoral politics.' These people deserve our support and our solidarity."

"Tonight, we find ourselves in a nation gripped by chaos—divided, unsettled, and standing on the edge of something even darker. Today has been one of the most difficult days to report: bomb threats rattled communities across the country, a possible shooting shut down a major university, and the manhunt for Charlie Kirk’s assassin intensifies with no end yet in sight."
