Like most gun advocates, he starts out good and then goes into some weirdly irrational crap about "collectivism," and how gun control sacrifices the lives of the few for the many (???). The moment he starts talking about "the herd," you know he is just your average, run-of-the-mill libertarian, and everything he says beyond that point is completely predictable.
The best pro-gun arguments don't base themselves in archaic ideological bullshit, they use a statistical approach to demonstrate that gun control just doesn't work.
To me, this article is just one big exercise of preaching to the choir.

No, it was excellent.
I'm going to read it again because it was so excellent.

Of course you think it was excellent. It reaffirms your world view.
People who don't agree with your world view would find it to be a basic reiteration of all the pro-gun arguments they've ever heard, with some basic libertarian conspiracy keywords thrown in ("collectivism," "the herd," etc) for flavour.
