Quick hypocritical story: Robert DeNiro---one of the finest actors of all time, but INSANELY liberal---has a full carry permit in New York City. Good enough for him, but not good enough for John Q. Public?
Yes, he's one of those I read about in that article. The Times, which is off-the-charts anti-gun, had a sneering tone in that article.
The high-profile anti-gun crusaders tend to be identifiable as liberals. The high-profile pro-gun crusaders tend to be identifiable as conservatives. But, I don't see firearms as a partisan political issue. Here in AZ, gun owners, hobbyists, people who carry, are all across the political spectrum. It's safe here, too--thanks in part to a well-armed citizenry. If you have a good idea that the other guy's carrying, you tend not to pick fights.
