Requiem for a Philosopher King

Yesterday, a New York City Councilman was shot within City Hall itself, by a man he had himself waved past the metal detectors. It turns out that the victim was also carrying a concealed firearm, despite having been publically anti-gun for the entirety of his political life. (New York is not a shall-issue state and has extensive requirements for owning a firearm, much less carrying a concealed firearm). As always, politicians see the rules as being "for thee but not for me".
