Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA CEO, rejects the claim that gun violence was the root cause of her husband’s murder. Tyler Robinson is accused of fatally shooting Kirk, aged 31, during a campus event in Utah on September 10. Kirk emphasizes that “this did not happen overnight” and describes Charlie’s routine moments after work, including turning off his phone and saying “Shabbat Shalom,” before engaging with family and college football on weekends. She contends that the tragedy stems from broader issues rather than firearms alone, arguing that violence results from deeper human and societal problems. Kirk also reiterates her support for the Second Amendment, stating that the murder reflects mental health and political/divisive tensions rather than a gun problem. She expressed forgiveness toward Charlie’s alleged assailant, underscoring a belief that the underlying causes are more complex than weaponry.
