This poor fellow doesn't seem to get it.
In a blistering critique of what he describes as congressional
kowtowing to the “gun lobby,” the Roman Catholic bishop of Dallas
is praising President Obama’s new actions on gun control and ripping the
"cowboy mentality" that allows open carry laws like one that just went
into effect in Texas.
"Thank God that someone finally has the courage to close the
loopholes in our pitiful gun control laws to reduce the number of mass
shootings, suicides and killings that have become a plague in our
country," Bishop Kevin Farrell wrote in a column, posted on his website on Jan. 5.
"President Barack Obama’s executive actions,
though modest, are first steps in correcting gun laws so weak that they
are ludicrous," he wrote. "Congress has unabashedly sold itself to the
gun lobby. If there was ever any doubt, its recent action to kill
legislation to ban people on the terrorist no-fly list made it obvious."
At least--so far--he hasn't said that Church doctrine opposes self-defense and the defense of others.
So far.
Altogether a silly, uninformed, rant. Embarrassing.

I think your Clint Eastwood meme says it all.
