        You're a law abiding responsible gun owner. What we want, is to ensure guns are only in the hands of people like you.

        I'm not pro-gun or anti-gun, I just think someone who owns a gun should be responsible enough to keep it from kids.

        I may have interpreted that incorrectly. Phrase led with his column, then said a Staunch Supporter of GR. I assumed tied.
