From the Editorial Board: Former U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger suggested those who want to see sensible regulations on gun ownership should see “Second Amendment people” as potential experts and allies. We could not agree more.
Flowers overflow from the base of the Spartan Statue on the first day of classes on Feb. 20, 2023, at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, one week after three students were killed and five others wounded during a shooting at the university.
On Monday night, Kinzinger spoke in Chicago at a meeting organized by The Joyce Foundation. In a session moderated by a former Tribune reporter, White House official and Democratic strategist, David Axelrod, the former congressman spoke alongside Tim Heaphy, the chief counsel and lead investigator for the Jan. 6 House committee.This was a left-leaning audience, receptive to sharp criticism of the Republican right and far friendlier to Kinzinger than many members of his own party.
U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger attends a gun violence hearing on Oct. 3, 2019, at Kennedy King College in Chicago. Therefore, rather than seeing fervent supporters of the Second Amendment as the opposition to be defeated, he suggested, those who want to see sensible regulations on gun ownership, such as background checks, age restrictions and red flag laws, should see “Second Amendment people” as potential experts and allies. They know guns better than those who merely despise them.
