Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk said she still strongly supports the Second Amendment, insisting the assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk, was “not a gun problem.” The widow rejected the argument that gun violence was the root cause of her husband's murder, instead blaming factors like mental health and divisive politics. “What I’ve realized through all of this is that you can have individuals that will always resort to violence. And what I’m afraid of is that we are living in a day and age where they think violence is the solution to them not wanting to hear a different point of view,” she said during The New York Times’ Dealbook Conference on Wednesday.
