I don't know much about this right to bear arms thing, coming from where I do where its illegal for most people to carry guns openly, although there are some who do and use them more frequently than anyone would like, mostly for either criminal or "political" motives. Their word - not mine.

It does seem to me however, that regardless of his upbringing or political affiliation, if he hadn't had a gun in his car he wouldn't have been able to shoot anyone.
