Seth Meyers Names The 1 Major Threat Plaguing America Following Kirk Shooting

Seth Meyers on Thursday reacted to the killing of right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk by highlighting how gun violence is a “plague” on the United States.

“We desperately need reasonable gun safety laws to stop this epidemic of tragedy and pain. No matter the identity or ideology of these perpetrators, one thing is always constant: the guns,” the “Late Night” host said of such shootings.

“We must make it possible for children to go to school and for everyone to engage in public debate without the threat of gun violence looming over them.”

“In a moment like this, it is the responsibility of all public figures to marshal their dignity and compassion and lead us to a calmer, more rational place,” Meyers said.

“This effort cannot be one-sided and it must start at the top.”
