So he admits that this law won't really affect anything either way (and statistically it probably won't) but is against it ... why? So if it has no effect and passing this law "pays homage to a rambo mentality," then does resisting it pay a homage to the "but guns are just evil because I don't like them mentality?"

And we know from many, many public and published stories that for some percentage of people, however small, having a firearm at the right time nad right place HAS saved their life.

So if there are no negatives to the law, and it allows even a few people to be empowered to at least have a chance to save their lives or those of others, why fight it?

I just don't get the anti-mentality.
