Oh, I don't really think he'll be in ANYONE's corner. He didn't like the idea of guns in "his" town, but when faced with logic and the council, there wasn't much he could do about it.

However, when faced with logic and actual statistical data, he had to go along with what the council voted, and it was the public to got the council to agree.
