“I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment and of open/concealed carry laws. It is this reason why I strongly condemn the abuse of the right to own and bear arms as it is apparent in this case. IMHO
We who appreciate this precious right must admit to ourselves that not all persons who do carry are not responsible owners. Unless we condemn those who don’t we ourselves risk being counted with them as “gun nuts” by anti-gun forces. “

You are going to take flak, but you are absolutely correct. If gun right supporters are going to run to defend every nut that fight will be lost. More and more I see utter knee jerk reaction on FR. There will be much on this topic for sure.

What they fail to understand that This is the exact type of case to stereotype gun owners as dimwitted "shoot first then ask questions later" loose cannons. This is the exact type of trap that Limbaugh fell for. And although the shooter is Hispanic they successfully pigeonholed him as redneck racist from the South.

They think they are defending the "Stand Your Ground " law but they are actually torpedoing it for responsible gun owners wishing to rightfully defend their family from real threats, not some poor slub walking home armed with skittles and iced tea
