Well, it COULD have been worse I suppose, but the tone of the article is enough to make the NYT's typical audience shit themselves in fear of flyover country.
The entire article stinks. It's nothing more than a typical smear job intended to scare their target audience into demanding more gun control.
They used Mr. Faire as their scapegoat to demonize the Appleseed program. They meant to portray all shooters as a bunch of foaming at the mouth lunatics just itching to go on a killing spree.
As for Fred...
He's a joke and a back stabbing peace of shit. He claims to teach revolutionary war history and then calls the very organization that fought the war "the dark side". He teaches people to shoot and then tells them that they must never put their training to use. He thinks we can stop tyranny with the ballot box alone; proving he has learned nothing from history.
And, sadly he will throw his trainers under the bus just to protect the continued existence of his precious program...principles do not matter.
