Yes, but the more important thing is that murder is wrong, not that someone's a hypocrite. Hypocrisy is the most minor of malfeasances.

A smoker who writes a column that smoking is bad is still doing good writing.

This argument is very common against people with fringe political beliefs. "If you don't believe in property rights, why do you have a car?"

It's common against everyone. "You believe in climate change? Yet you sometimes use a car? Checkmate!"
