Dave Gregory is a journalist. He has children who go to a private school and that school has armed guards.
Dave Gregory recently went on something of an on-line rant scoffing at the the notion that armed guards could prevent multiple killings at schools (this was during an interview with an NRA official).
Hypocrisy?
Nope.
Here's one reason: Gregory is not in charge of the school's security; for all we know he may not approve of it.
Here's another reason: Gregory may approve of the security but on the grounds that the security at the school protects the kids (Sidwell Friends), not so much from crazed killers but from nosy journalists (since Gregory is a journalist himself this brings up a new layer of issues, but I'll ignore it).
Article on the issue is here. Picture of Gregory is from Wikipedia on him.
US Senator Mike Crapo (pronounced KRAY-PO) was arrested on Dec 23, 2012 for DUI in suburban VA. There was no accident and no one was hurt (he ran a red light). His blood alcohol was 0.11 (the upper limit there is 0.08).
All this is unremarkable except that Senator Crapo (R-ID) is also a Mormon, at one time a bishop in a church whose doctrine prohibits alcohol (there may be a medical out on this but Crapo didn't claim this) and one who has proclaimed his alcohol abstinence as a personal value.
Is this hypocrisy?
No. As I see it, it's sin.
If Crapo would, after being arrested, said something implying that it was OK for him to drink but not for others, that would have been hypocrisy.
It reminds me of the joke where the Priest says to the Rabbi,
"just between the two of us, have you ever had pork" to which the Rabbi says 'yes'. Then the Rabbi says to the Priest, "just between the two of us have you had sex since you became a Priest" and the Priest says 'yes'. Then the Rabbi says, "beats the heck out of pork, doesn't it?"
