It seems to me that using Ghandi's writings to justify gun ownership is the height of cowardice. It twists Ghandi's teachings to suit a narrow view.

"Ghandi pointed out three possible responses to oppression and injustice. One he described as the coward's way, to accept the wrong or run away from it. The second was to stand and fight by force of arms. Ghandi said that this was better than acceptance or running away. But the third way, he said, was the best of all and required the most courage: to stand and fight by non-violent means."

So it appears that Alex Jones et al stopped reading partway through, and thus twisted the message. For some reason I am not surprised.
