Not exactly furthering his cause. It's morons like this who are cannon fodder for the weenies who want to take every gun out of the hands of every gun owner the world around.Really? Why? He didn't shoot her. Actually, since she was trespassing, he'd have had my full sympathy and support if he had, nevertheless, he didn't.
It's not the guns. It's the attitude of the hunter and action he took. If he can't control himself and refrain from physical violence against an unarmed person, maybe, just maybe, he doesn't need his precious firearm. Don't get me wrong, the protesters were tresspassing, but his assault charge is the greater wrong.
According to the article, he was videotaped beating her.
If she was tresspassing, why didn't he call the authorities? He could have detained her long enough.
I agree that the tresspasser should have been dealt with, but it is not gentlemanly to jump off a horse and physically attack an unarmed female intruder.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be able to shoot tresspassers on sight. The law says otherwise in my state, however.
