Yeah, I think his childhood is a big determining factor on his attitude towards guns. I think he's based in CA, so that can't help, either.
I really don't blame his attitude towards guns, based on the violent past he relates in his books. It's easy enough to ignore that bit, and take the 'good stuff' from his material.
I find the information people have posted about his company's employees being armed, though, but business is business, and money makes monkeys of us all.
My score still stands
