I'm tired of being lectured on guns by people who have concealed carry permits and armed security. Sulzberger from the NY Times is another - he has the paper in full-throated support for gun control while at the same time he has a concealed carry permit hardly anyone in NYC can get.
- adrtessier 11y agoIt is rational for Sulzberger to call for more gun control, and to be the only one with a gun. After all, it makes him safer. <insert major American city>'s economic elite are fearful because there are crazies that often have bones to pick with people that are high profile. By the nature of that profile, there's some nutjob that's likely sent them a few death threats. The more people other than their elite friends they can disarm, the safer it makes them. The greater the income inequality divide becomes, the worse it will probably get.
- jeremysmyth 11y agoIt's generally rational for people who campaign against bad policy to make use of those policies while they exist and are advantageous. Mayday.us is a superpac designed to end superpacs. This is not hypocrisy. See also signatories to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
- gozur88 11y agoIt's not hypocritical if you think Sulzberger intends to give up his permit after he gets the gun control he wants. Personally, I don't believe it for a second. I don't blame him for wanting to be the only guy with a gun. I just don't think he should be allowed to arrange that through the government.
