Leftists lashed out at Hughes, calling his postings "inappropriate," and suggesting that he remove them out of respect for the Parkland survivors. Hughes appears to have relented; only one of several posts remains active.
Interestingly enough, many of the same people attacking Hughes for his Instagram posts defended the Parkland students as unassailable, largely because they had just experienced — and survived — a mass shooting. As victims, their voices are worth more, it seems, than those seeking to exercise their Constitutional right to protect themselves. But the same deference wasn't afforded to Hughes — perhaps because, in surviving a mass shooting, he became an advocate for principles unpopular with all the "right" people.
