but the gun advocates just saw what could be a (pun intended) "shot across the bow" after having DHS claim that because he had a gun on him (which some reports indicated was legally obtained and he was licensed to carry), that he was going to cause mayhem.

I.e., that group has always been afraid of someone "taking their guns away" and they just saw what justification could be used to do that and more - shot on sight as "self defense" (and coming from their OWN side).
