  From Snopes:

  ATTENDEE: Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?

  KIRK: Too many. [Applause]

  ATTENDEE: In America, it’s five. Now, five is a lot, right, I’m going to give you — I’m going to give you some credit. Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?

  KIRK: Counting or not counting gang violence?

  A follow up question about trans people being involved in shootings in the lat 10y.

  First answer was “Too many.” Follow up question was how many shooters were NOT trans.

  Final (and fatal) answer was that quote.
