TBF the laws in the USA are wack enough that the weapon might not fall under the definition of deadly weapon and therefore firearms related crime.

Better still:

Mr Kirk was on his "Prove me Wrong" tour.

And the assassin chose to prove Mr Kirk wrong in a way words couldn't.

However - If spending money can legally be protected as "free speech" in the US, then what other actions could be considered "free speech" and therefore is protected under the first amendment?

If Mr Kirk was openly asking to be proven wrong, then couldn't the assassins bullet be protected under free speech as a clear (but violent) answer to that question?
