A few stumbling blocks in the article. I always think it's a mistake to conflate the gun rights issue with the abortion issue, and it's done pretty commonly by the pro-gun side. They're wildly different issues with wildly different things inforiming them - namely, no one disagrees that murder victims are human beings, but the pro-choice view is that a fertilized zygote is not a human being. His argument sidesteps that entire argument as though we've all agreed they're human beings, and a large swath of gun owners, including me, are pro-choice. It doesn't do from a political-strategic perspective to divide the pro-gun base when we're under siege like we are now. The issue at hand is guns that that is where the focus should remain. I also though the Boston bombings versus Texas explosion bit was off-target for reasons others have touched on.

The vast majority, though, was brilliantly stated. Overall an excellent piece.
