This strikes me as like implying that I’m hypocritical because I support gay marriage, but then turned down a man who hits on me because im not actually gay.

A person can be pro gun rights and at the same time still be afraid of an active shooter.

It would be ironic to loudly and repeatedly declare “If you don’t want to get hit on at a bar, put on that wedding ring” and then get chased out of a bar by a bunch of married men slapping your ass.

A person can be pro gun rights and at the same time still be afraid of an active shooter.

A person who stakes their reputation on the phrase “An Armed Society Is A Polite Society” fleeing said armed society for their lack of politeness establishes a certain hypocrisy.

A person fleeing that situation who may well be unarmed is self-preservation, not hypocrisy, regardless of their stance on guns. He is however reaping what he has helped sow. Hypocrisy is simply the wrong word. This isn’t the same as being anti-abortion and then paying for your mistress to get one. Being pro-gun doesn’t mean you just stand there.

A person who insists everyone should be armed everywhere they go and then isn’t armed when he asserts a gun would have been handy is ironic.

Of course not.

A handgun compares to a rifle like a dagger to a sword.

Who is saying anything about hypocrisy? This is about the guy feeling the consequences for his shitty policies.

2 of the top 5 comments right now are attacking him for not being the “good guy with a gun” and arguably multiple people have challenged me to defend the implicit claims of hypocrisy. So I disagree the implication isn’t there.

You could explain why, but that would actually take thought and effort and open your position up to being challenged, which is scary. I get it. Empty insults are much easier.

When a gay man “sets his sights” on you, death isn’t a possible outcome. So supporting gay people isn’t a life threatening position to hold. It’s just the right fucking thing to do. However, Being full on pro gun does come with the inevitable death of someone. This politician made it so the exact people who shouldn’t have a gun, would have one. If you are a responsible gun owner than good on you. Please by all means keep your guns, but is it truly too much to ask that you at least take the time to be background checked before getting another gun? Or maybe take a few classes on gun safety? Or be legally required to have it stored in a place away from children and the mentally unstable?
