Liberal advocacy orgs are in an awkward spot re: Philando Castile -- he was lawfully armed, and condemning "gun culture" is condemning him.
I agree that it's possible to hold those beliefs. They still create a tension.

I just don't see how "I hate guns, but this guy was legally able to have one and did not deserve any abuse or punishment" is weird.

Because condemning the culture of gun ownership, which liberals often do, also necessitates condemnation of him.
