Yeah but leaders have to lead and this is what happens when you allow your voters to be terrorized constantly at the expense of your own privilege. He’s lucky he hasn’t been tarred and feathered yet.

You think this was legal under current law?

The issue is that the most common argument against gun control is “the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” So now this lawmaker has proven that he doesn’t practice what he preaches. If he truly believed a good guy with a gun was the only thing that could stop the shooter, then why not put his money where his mouth is? Surely he’d be hailed as a paragon for gun rights when he took the shooter down…

But clearly he’s a hypocrite who doesn’t actually believe what he’s saying; He only says it because the gun lobby gives him tons of money to do so.

Yeah you can be enamored by nature and its fauna, while still having a healthy fear of being attacked by animals.

I love trains but being tied to tracks while a train approaches isn’t what I think of as “fun”.

That said proper, responsible gun ownership like any hobby involves accounting for dangers, and also advocating for measures for people to be able to enjoy their passion safely.

Going to the range and being afraid of criminal shooters isn’t hypocritical.

Being afraid of criminal shooters and fighting against gun control reforms makes you a hypocrite and a bad person.

And there’s nothing wrong innately with being a hypocrite. But you’re a pretty shit person if your empathy and considerations can only extend as far as things that have threatened you personally.

Guna don’t scare me but people using guns recklessly or maliciously do.

Being afraid of being shot does make you a hypocrite if you are against gun restrictions and regulations.

Your world view is getting people killed, you SHOULD be scared.
