If you’re the former you can and should also be in support of the latter.

This is very different from turning your back on a close trans friend to gain influence via the current culture war fad. (Vance did that, for anyone confused)

Per my reading of the situation, his positions on guns and gun control didn't change. Just the NRA's read on him. Like. I say this as a strapped up lefty who doesn't like that the righties have monopoly on violence that They're willing to use as a political tool. I both own guns and think we need reform
