Alright, those of you criticizing Martin Hyde for admitting he’s willing to accept some level innocent death to keep guns legal, I would invite you to please read my post here.
He’s not doing anything that you don’t already do about many issues, it’s just that he has the intellectual integrity to admit it. You’re calling him a monster because he thinks guns are worth it and you don’t, not because he’s making any sort of different calculation than you do one dozens of issues. An alcohol prohibitionist would have just as much right to call you monsters for your endless parade of dead children killed by alcohol-related factors. They could point to every cute kid killed by a drunk driver and say “when will the carnage stop? Why are you willing to let children die just so you can get drunk?” and have just as much a point as you do attacking him.
Do any of you have the intellectual integrity to admit that there are things you prefer to be legal even though the availability/legality of that thing will cost innocent lives? Or are you going to continue to pretend that nothing you enjoy, advocate, or otherwise want available results in innocent deaths?
