Anti-Gun Senator Shoots Intruder - 74-year-old N.C. state senator shoots, wounds intruder at his home
Posted 1/27/2010
Long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Senator R.C. Soles, 74, shot one of two intruders at his home just outside Tabor City, N.C. about 5 p.m. Sunday, the prosecutor for the politician's home county said.
The victim, Kyle Blackburn, was taken to a South Carolina hospital, but the injuries were not reported to be life-threatening, according to Rex Gore, district attorney for Columbus, Bladen andBrunswick counties..
The State Bureau of Investigation and Columbus County Sheriff's Department are investigating the shooting, Gore said. Soles, who was not arrested,declined to discuss the incident Sunday evening.
"I am not in a position to talk to you," Soles said by telephone. "I'm right in the middle of an investigation."
The Senator, who has made a career of being against gun ownership for the general public, didn't hesitate to defend himself with his own gun when he believed he was in immediate danger and he was the victim.
In typical hypocritical liberal fashion, the "Do As I Say And Not As I Do" Anti-Gun Activist Lawmaker picked up his gun and took action in what apparently was a self-defense shooting. Why hypocritical you may ask? It is because his long legislative record shows that the actions that he took to protect his family, his own response to a dangerous life threatening situation, are actions that he feels ordinary citizens should not have if they were faced with an identical situation.
It has prompted some to ask if the Senator believes his life and personal safety is more valuable than yours or mine.
But, this is to be expected from those who believe they can run our lives, raise our kids, and protect our families better than we can.

To me, it seems obvious that this type of behavior is indeed typical among politicians today (I disagree with the naming of liberals and whatnot, as today it is a general truth that people support this behavior, regardless of what names they've created for themselves.), but I wanted to ask primarily what the implications with this sort of nonsense could truly be.
Why is someone so against something that individually they have no problem with? Indeed, the arguments are, "Against guns!", but clearly this individual has no problem with the guns.. What is it he has a problem with? What is his true motivation for advocating gun control?
-UPDATE - After contemplating the possibilities of this article being fake or whatever, I checked back on the forum to realize someone else had already looked into it. It seems like I've read other articles about this sort of thing occurring in years past from some of the more well known gun control advocates, also including articles about the firearms gun control advocates carry themselves. Nevertheless, I don't have those articles anymore, and I don't deem this one fit for a thorough analysis, but hopefully I'm not 100% incorrect in thinking that it is common practice to set in place controls for other people, that you are not controlled by.
I'm still looking to figure out why someone would say someone who isn't anti-gun is anti-gun.
