Several conservative Twitter accounts expressed shock and anger over ABC using the attempted-Reagan assassin John Hinckley Jr. to promote gun control in a recent Nightline Interview. The ABC reporter recounted, "Hinckley’s crimes back in 1981 changed gun control in the U.S. Then Hinckley started giving his gun control opinions. Though promoting Reagan’s would-be assassin advocating for gun control did not sit well with conservative accounts on Twitter. ABC is seriously promoting attempted Ronald Reagan assassin John Hinckley Jr. as someone to listen to about gun control."
