Hypocrisy

On Don Perata from Wikipedia:

Perata is a staunch advocate of gun control. In 1999, Perata successfully drove legislation that updated the California “assault weapons ban” by adding a ban of generically-described semi-automatic firearms.

That’s a bit ironic since:

Perata said today that he no longer carries a concealed-weapons permit and there was no gun in his state car.

Perata said he never had the permit renewed when it expired two years ago because he “just never had the opportunity to re-qualify” at a gun range. Perata obtained the permit out of security concerns stemming from his work regulating firearms.

One Response to “Hypocrisy”

  1. Xrlq Says:

    I was living in the Bay Area in the late 1990s when Perata’s CCW came to light. If memory serves, his original response to charges of hypocrisy was “I never said I was anti-gun.” Not against his own, anyway. And in fairness to the hack, most “assault” weapons aren’t concealable, anyway.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
