The numerous denials of having MHL tendencies from the sanctimonious A&S Helmet True Believers strike me as just so much hypocrisy if not worse.
I'm a bit more generous about helmet how true believers feel about MHLs. I accept their stated opposition at face value, and believe them when they say they don't support them or wouldn't advocate for them. However, I believe that many are passively in favor of MHLs, and deep down wouldn't be sad if they were passed. In any case I wouldn't count on them for support in opposition to MHLs because they're not in a position to honestly argue against the stated intent of these laws.
