His brother was killed in the San Bernardino mass shooting in 2023. If anyone would be compelled by emotion to turn against the 2A, it would be Tim. But he remained true to his principles. In his tribute to his brother, he wrote:
... my family has always believed, and still believes, that all people everywhere have a fundamental right to possess guns for self-defense, against criminals as well as against the government; that this right is enshrined on an equal footing with other essential rights in our Constitution, and that all elected officials are bound by oath to respect and protect it. Efforts to disarm law-abiding people, such as are now underway, are counterproductive and wrong. Danny shared our belief on this matter.
Danny was a human being capable of thought and love. That was enough to make him dear to us—and to make him a target for jihad in San Bernardino.
