Especially in light of what he writes about in his books.
He writes well about tyranny and the tools of its power.
I like Kurt Schlichter and have read his books. I also regularly read his Townhall column, so this surprised me.
My guess is that Mr Schlichter is trying to rally the troops by pointing out that we can get ahead of the Dems on this issue. In this way, we head them off at the pass by passing extended background checks and red flag laws that wont be the intentional tools of abuse that the dems would pass.
Once again, just a guess.
