pointing out the hypocrisy means nothing to these people. their entire philosophy is about making it legally not a hypocrisy. they want laws that protect them and don't limit them while they have an other that the laws don't protect but do limit.

This has come to be known as 'Wilhoit's Law,' based on an online comment from a music composer:

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
