Movies, massacres, & hobby horses—feedback

I walked straight into this one. In yesterday’s post, I derided those who see every tragic event as an invitation to hobby horse dressage, then pivoted to endorse the anti-gun, anti-craven politician cri de coeur by the father of a Santa Barbara victim.

Reader:

You should have followed the advice of your own post and resisted the blaming of a crazy person on a hobby horse of your liking.

Contrarian:

Touche! But at least my hobby horse is rationally connected to the killing spree.

Reader:

As rationally connected as the knife that he killed the first three people with, and the car he drove around with. Hobby horses never die!
