Chris Hurst is a lot like Parkland shooting publicity hound David Hogg. Both have used an association with violence as a stepping stone to advance their career. Hogg parlayed Parkland into a spot at Harvard and Hurst parlayed the publicity surrounding the televised shooting death of his girlfriend into a spot in the House of Delegates.
Naturally, Hurst is very concerned about “gun violence.” His campaign website lists it as a public health menace.
During the Virginia Citizens Defense League rally--when over 22,000 armed, law–abiding citizens peaceably gathered to show their opposition to the leftist legislature’s plan to collectively punish gun owners--Hurst made a big deal out of opening his office to shelter silly teenagers frightened by inanimate objects.
