I'll note for the record that the guy was an idiot and was violating many, many rules of gun safety like leaving loaded handguns all over his house.

I mean, the main reason to own a handgun is for home defense. How safe is your home if anyone who breaks in has numerous loaded handguns within easy reach?

This guy and his ilk do a lot to set back the cause of Second Amendment rights.

Don't you believe in having a "fair" fight???

No one guy or group of guys or any type of "ilk" can do a damn thing to "set back" the cause of Second Amendment rights. The Second Amendment is written in stone any cannot be violated, period. It doesn't matter what anyone else does. This guy didn't even break any laws.

Where, how many and in what condtion his handguns were in is his damn bussiness and no one elses.

The only mistake he made was to pick up a weapon, if indeed he did, and point it at the chief. I think he had a very powerful argument without the rifle.

You don't suppose he was picking up the rifle to carry it outside, so it wouldn't burn up, do you?

I take issue with that. Having loaded handguns around the house is not unsafe. Why would it be?
