BBC News -Democrats just as passionate

[Xela]

Interesting words from what I understood to be a Democrat who is pro RKBA.

Brendan and his girlfriend Oona are among the large crowd of customers at Firing Line. He says he already owns around 100 guns and this time he has got his eye on a semi-automatic rifle - the kind you would expect to see a US marine carrying in Afghanistan.

I asked Brendan why he needed another weapon.

At first he said the model he was considering would be good to shoot at coyotes.

Then, after a pause, he added this bombshell: "To be honest, I think the real reason why the public should have semi-automatic and fully automatic weapons is to protect themselves from the government".

Unabashed, he adds: "I know that's going to sound right-wing."

But America's love affair with the gun crosses the political divide. There are Democrats who are just as passionate.
