I don't think anyone is honestly shaming this person for being afraid.
They are shaming him for refusing to do anything about a situation that he eventually wound up in himself, and suggesting that if he's not going to do something legislatively then he damn well better do something in person, else he has failed in his duty to care for his citizenry. Which is like saying the pot is black, honestly, since politicians don't care about the citizenry.
The GOP had a stance of good guys with guns will defend people with said guns. So voting to have the guns present and not having one and running instead of defending the people either shows he was a coward by their stance, or not one of the good guys.
Yeah man, that looks like a different set of words to describe what I said.
I'll take you at your word that that is what you meant to convey, however their set or words is more succinct than yours.

Sorry
The first mistake people made was believing the GOP had their back.
The first mistake is assuming the GOP cares about people not related to them, or people who don't benefit them in any way.
