If his reason was defending the Second Amendment then why did he feel the need to destroy all the documentation on the arrest? He could have just let the guy go and leave it at that.
I didn't see that he destroyed "all" the documentation, nor even anything that stated what particular records he was charged with destroying or altering. If a person is arrested without legitimate basis, is there any legitimate basis for the government's retention of that person's fingerprints or mug shot?

Do you have any idea what the implications are of having a felony firearms arrest on your record?
It's possible he let a buddy go, then when he got caught he said he was defending the 2nd to drum up some support. Who knows? I don't.
