This man is no doubt a good man. But his intentions backfired in a spectacular way; he might have put himself in prison for several years.
The SAFE Act was a Leftist hysterical reaction to Sandy Hook, which was already set up as a killing zone. Under the SAFE Act it is a felony to possess a gun - for any reason - on school property. It was run through the legislature and signed into law on Jan 15 bu Governor Cuomo who called the law the most extensive gun law on the books in the USA.
Dwayne Ferguson worked for the bill to become law. He has now been caught on school property with a gun (for which he has a permit). That could earn him a couple of years in prison due to his own law.
What Ferguson did was a crime only because he and people like him said so, not because there were any victims involved: there weren't. If anything, Ferguson could have defended his children from an actual dangerous person. But the hatred of guns, even by Ferguson who owns and carries one, dominated the conversation and created a victimless crime, or at least one where a non-perpetrator becomes the victim. In a large sense, Ferguson did this to himself. And to others like him: victims of a law, not a crime.

If we say that the sane can be coaxed and persuaded to rationality, and we say that rationality presupposes logic, then what can we say of those who actively reject logic?

Atheists have an obligation to give reasons in the form of logic and evidence for rejecting Theist theories.
