My other knowledge of him is that he is anti-freedom-of-gun-ownership, which indicates a desire to impose onerous restrictions on personal freedom; that is enough to turn me against him despite other qualifications. (Personal opinion.) Gun issue debate currently (and perennially) rages on the Poli-Sci mailing list, if you are interested in the topic.
