They project the idea of a hypocrisy they can expose onto the gun control folks. It’s tiresome. Today? I saw only positive support.

RobinWoke up smelling smoke inside the house (windows closed). Had to go outside to make sure there was not a fire right near the house. Don’t see anything. But this is the worst air quality I’ve ever been in - even in the worst Oregon wildfires.
