It is much more complicated than what this claim makes it out to be. On one hand it is true that Tyler Robinson engraved his bullets with messages like "Hey Fascist! Catch!". However that does not mean he assassinated Charlie Kirk solely as a gesture of support towards transgender and anti-fascism. According to an article by NPR, during police interviews Tyler said "the f***in messages are mostly a big meme". 

The article also points out researchers "analysis that Kirk's alleged shooter was obsessed with what some call the "performance of violence." This all goes to say that there is no clear answer to the motives behind the assassination, and this assumption is not confirmed to be true.

While most major news sources all report this same fact about the Kirk assassination, the claim in it of itself is murky to say the least. Images of said unfired casings are notoriously hard to find. 

On top of that, both trans rights and anti fascist movements are not fully encompassed by the actions of an individual who took to arms, regardless of the claims scrawled into the casings. Interviews with Robinson as confirmed by this PBS article confirms that Robinson supposedly engraved the casings for vanity, not trying to make any dramatic political claims. 

The motives of Tyler Robinson, his politics, and the case itself is an ongoing investigation. The still ephemeral nature of the situation leads to a rather muddied view of it, reducing the scope to which we can examine the facts.

False
