Eh, arguing policy is fine, personal attacks not so much (see SMOTI). But this line was interesting:

Suffering through a terrible crime gives a person no special insight into its causes, and Hogg has no special insight into its causes โ€” or, frankly, into anything else.

That is an incredibly foolish line. He knew (or at least knew of) the shooter. He saw the weapons used to kill several people just like him. And beyond that, even if it doesnโ€™t give you insight into the cause, it gives you insight into the - for lack of a better word - execution of those crimes. Hogg saw first hand the effect that the business end of semi-automatic weapons have on people. Talking about the tools of said crime when youโ€™ve seen them in action is pretty fucking simple, isnโ€™t it?
