The other thing we can and should do is look at Parker’s past, because his transformation into a gun law crusader was not so much a road to Damascus conversion as it was a direction he was already receptive to traveling in, albeit he never had the motivation before now to devote his life to the issue. Back in 2007, Parker ran for the Virginia House of Delegates as a Democrat. At the time, Virginia Citizens Defense League, the state’s premiere grassroots gun rights group, sent its political questionnaire to all candidates. Their tally sheet shows no responses to the questions next to his listed name, which, per VCDL, “frequently indicates indifference, if not outright hostility, toward the right to keep and bear arms.” [More]
If Andy Parker is committed to doing "whatever it takes," my latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column notes we have to be as well.
Whether it was a "road to Damascus" conversion or not, all my sympathy for him evaporated when he went over to the Dark Side.
