A former mayoral candidate in Tucson, Ariz., is drawing heated criticism from Democrats after he launched a program this week to hand out free shotguns in high-crime neighborhoods.Shaun McClusky, who kicked off the program Monday, financed it with initial donor commitments of $12,000. He told FoxNews.com that with those private donations alone, he can arm and train 36 people — and hopes to begin that process in 60 days.
Not surprisingly, the plan has met with outraged indignation from the anti-self-defense crowd:
House Minority Leader Chad Campbell called it “ideological extremism at its worst” and “a political gimmick that could have dangerous consequences.”
