Sean Hannity Suggests Martial Arts Training as Personal Security Plan in Wake of Maine Mass Shooting

Fox News Host Dismisses Calls for Gun Regulation Following Maine Tragedy, Advocates for Personal Self-Defense Plans Instead, Drawing Backlash and Ridicule from Critics and Social Media Users

In the wake of a mass shooting in Maine, Fox News host Sean Hannity suggested martial arts training as a personal security plan, facing criticism and mockery from social media users.
Hannity dismissed calls for gun regulation, instead promoting self-defense strategies and criticizing the politicization of shootings.
The host implied that victims of such events hold personal responsibility, advocating for individual security plans including martial arts training.
His comments have drawn backlash, with critics highlighting the impracticality of using martial arts against semi-automatic weapons and it being an evasion of the need for gun control reforms.
The Maine incident involved an armed assailant killing at least 18 people and injuring dozens; the suspect, a trained firearms instructor, is still at large.
