Who Cares What You Think?

I saw a link headlined "Samuel L. Jackson mocks Trump’s proposal to arm teachers" and immediately wonder why this was news.  Is Sam Jackson a teacher?  Does he have some applicable experience in securing places from attacks?  Does he hold elective office that would allow him to legislate, enforce, or adjudicate laws on this subject?  No on all accounts.  He's an actor!  I think he is a great actor and have loved him in most movies where he has starred, even bad ones.  However, his opinion on this subject is utterly irrelevant.  Moreover, he has never been in a gunfight, so his tweet doesn't hold any water.  This is just virtue signaling that will draw praise from the people with whom he socializes.
