I saw the claim of hypocrisy on FoxnFriends this morning, I think it was. I agree with that, but there’s a bit of me that says it’s a wrong-headed argument.
Because Weinstein uses violence then he shouldn’t gripe about gun-owners who also use violence.
That’s not true. Gun-owners do not glorify violence, by and large. They are trained, thoughtful, and have an excellent record in only using their weapons when protecting life.
Comparing ourselves to gratuitous violence is not solid ground to stand on.
The argument should be: we do not advocate violence, but this guy advocates gratuitous violence.
“Comparing ourselves to gratuitous violence is not solid ground to stand on.The point”
The point is point out hypocrisy In this case I see very firm ground
I saw this quote on another site:
“1) Throughout the years, hollywood has taught gun violence.
2) Throughout the years, the NRA has taught gun safety.
any questions?”
I’ll bet Weinstein is responsible for more gratuitous violence than the NRA.
Agree.
