Here is what George Will has to say about it. Its an interesting take on the debate as it doesn't betray a particular agenda.

Actually they make me cringe, as I'm stuck between wanting to defend my position and avoiding them like the plague. I don't much care for criticism, and possibly worse are people who have views similar to mine that make absolutely atrocious statements.

Well im against bearing arms, but 100% behind arming bears
