Gun Owners Foundation is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Turning Point USA’s Founder Charlie Kirk. Our prayers are with his family and all those who are affected during this difficult time. Charlie Kirk has been a leading voice for educating college students and young adults about their constitutionally-protected rights that we hold dear. Gun Owners Foundation, through its 2A Defenders program, has long supported Turning Point USA (TPUSA) and Charlie Kirk’s work on college campuses. The movement for freedom lost a warrior today and his loss will be felt.
