The implications here are clear: gun owners, and those who believe in the right to keep and bear arms are maniacs and lunatics, all to be judged based on the actions that took place here.

There are numerous references to a gun banning:
"Friends said 23 year-old Richard Poplawski feared the Obama administration was poised to ban guns."
"Poplawski's friends at the scene described him as a young man who thought the Obama administration would ban guns."
"One friend, Edward Perkovic, said Poplawski feared "the Obama gun ban that's on the way" and "didn't like our rights being infringed upon."
"Another longtime friend, Aaron Vire, said he feared that President Obama was going to take away his rights, though he said he "wasn't violently against Obama."
Vire said his friend had an AK-47 rifle and several powerful handguns, including a .357 Magnum."
