That's the problem. The gun rights advocates (which include myself) should have condemmed him and said this is not what law abiding gun owners do.
By supporting him they give even more power to the gun control groups.
Clearly he was a gung ho cop wannabe that does not represent the average law abiding gun owner. ... why did people support him ?
Unfortunately weve become a nation of extremes, not many people want to be "middle of the road." Just because I believe that assault rifles should be banned does not mean that I believe in a persons right to have a hand gun for protection or a rifle to hunt. I believe that 90% of gun owners are responsible but its the 10% of the idiots we need to guard against. Its not unlike people that drink alcohol, many of the laws are to protect us from the idiots, not the law abiding citizens.
