It’s not really a good example as most of the time a politician who says that it is not hiding the fact that they oppose gun restrictions.
It does show though the problem with the term, which is that plenty of perfectly valid and legitimate opinions can be claimed as ‘dog whistles’, and so people will throw the accusation around when it’s completely unwarranted.
Got it, thanks! That was a good example.
