I never followed the man and I don't know what exactly he said. I have learned not to trust what the media claim someone said or did. Charlottesville is a good example of that.
I suspect his point was that the gun confiscation zealots would try to exploit a tragedy to score political points, which in fact, was exactly what they did.
No he specifically said that Sandy Hook massacre was not real, and it was faked. Only after he got sued, he said he now belies it was real, and that fake media made him think everything was a fake.
No one should be referencing anything from a scum like this.
