A certain man was a successful politician for many years. He gradually rose through the ranks from a city council member to state Representative to state Senator to federal Congressman to federal Senator. In all those years, he was a consistent advocate for gun control, including various proposals to ban all guns and ammunition held by private persons. He himself always lived in places with strict gun control, but he also was always in violation of the existing gun laws: he owned many guns that were banned, he failed to register guns he owned, and he bought and sold guns without the legal reporting requirements. He was called upon to serve as an under-Secretary of a cabinet-level department by the new presidential administration. As part of the vetting process, he was asked if he had ever violated any gun laws. He lied about his guns, and the administration believed him, since he had a “perfect” voting record promoting and enacting gun control. But once he was confirmed by the Senate, it came to light that he had in fact owned many guns, some of them illegally, and had committed numerous violations of the existing gun laws (some of which he had helped to pass at the state and federal level). What will happen next?
a) He will be fired by the President.
b) He will resign in disgrace.
c) He will be investigated by the federal authorities.
d) He will be indicted by state and local authorities.
e) Either a) or b), followed by either c) or d).
