Charlie Kirk's Widow Is Pro Second Amendment Despite His Death

Charlie Kirk's wife, Erika Kirk, is carrying on her husband's legacy. 

The late conservative opinionist's wife insists that Americans need to start owning guns as a way to protect themselves, while insisting that owners of firearms are the issue, and not the weapon in any way.

Charlie Kirk passed away when he was shot in the neck nearly three months ago during a speaking event about gun violence at the University of Utah.

Erika, during her appearance on The New York Times' Dealbook Conference, declared that she is in full support of people's rights to carry arms. She noted that American society currently has a problem with people who indiscriminately use guns to unleash reckless acts of violence.

"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. That's not a gun problem, that's a human -- deeply human -- problem," Erika added.

Since the media personality's passing, Erika has taken over her late husband's position in Turning Point USA, where she currently serves as its Chief Executive Officer and chair of the board.

According to TMZ, Erika, like her husband, believes that people can share opposing views and still be 100% respectful about it.

The former beauty queen has hopped on several interviews since her husband's shocking death, and in one of those, The Blast shared that the only line she would not cross is where she has to watch her husband's final moments, where the bullet pierced through his neck.

Erika strongly affirmed that she has been coping without watching the video, and her resolve will most likely stay that way. In her words: "I never saw the video. I will never see it. I never want to see it. I don't want my husband's public assassination to be something I ever see. I don't want my kids ever to see that."

She slammed everyone who enjoyed reliving the sad moment her husband passed away in the university, and urged them always to remember their humanity, and also to forgo such sickly ways.

Recall that the night show host was booted off the air for about a week due to his controversial comments about Charlie's shooting.

Kimmel was accused of allegedly making light of such a gruesome death, especially when he attempted to link the shooter to MAGA, making the discourse one with political undertones.

Following his reinstatement, ABC reportedly reached out to Erika to consider an invitation onto his show to enable him to apologize publicly. Unfortunately, Erika rejected the offer, stressing to the producers that she has no business with Kimmel's mess and will not participate in any form of public clean-up.

She also had an issue with the intention behind such an apology, emphasizing that it was not sincere. "If you wanna say I'm sorry to someone who's grieving, go right ahead. But if that's not in your heart, then don't do it. I don't want it. I don't need it," Erika noted.

Erika did not mince words as she voiced out how celebrating Thanksgiving without him truly made her feel and what it meant for their long-standing family tradition for the occasion.

The Blast noted that she shared a video of her going through a pile of gifts and presents from her late husband's admirers. Erika stated that she and her husband have always had a thing for Thanksgiving because it signified a return to a simple place of gratitude.

She stressed that the spirit of gratitude is even more overwhelming now that she is in the depths of ache and emotional vulnerability. The 36-year-old added that the immense outpour of love from every angle has left her and the children short of words.

Every letter meant so much to her, and she plans to save them for the future when the kids are older. The former beauty queen noted that she would save a plate for her late husband at the family's Thanksgiving dinner.

Weeks after her famous forgiveness speech towards her husband’s killer, the 36-year-old has now found herself in a space of indifference towards Tyler Robinson. During an interview with Megyn Kelly, Erika was asked if she had anything to say to the 22-year-old who allegedly shot her husband.

In contrast to her previous body language, Erika stated that she feels nothing towards him, not anger, not sympathy. Instead, she is hopeful that God himself would grant her justice for her irreparable loss.

Erika assured her husband’s killer that the justice of God far outweighs whatever plans she had in her heart toward him and his family, and she would not want to be in his shoes for a day.
