Liberal Anthony Bourdain: There are a lot of nice people in this country... and a lot of them own AR-15s.


One of the more interesting shows on television is Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown on CNN. Sunday was the season finale, where host Bourdain traveled to Detroit to explore the food and culture. After the episode — “The Last Bite” — Bourdain gathered with friends in a Las Vegas bar to discuss the season, which included a segment filmed in New Mexico that featured “gun culture.” CNN host Don Lemon joined Bourdain, along with Roy Choi (author of L.A. Son) and actor Wendell Pierce.

Bourdain, an avowed “New York lefty,” admitted that he likes guns and expressed his respect for American gun owners:

These people in the segment, as many people in red state America — in gun country America —  these are nice people. They like guns. As a matter of fact, I’ve gotta admit, I like guns. I like holding guns. I like shooting guns.

It's good to see a lefty that is willing to look at things fairly.

CNN aired this?  Everybody check under the bed for alien pods tonight!

I'm glad AB is honest enough to say it's OK to own - and like - a firearm.
Good for Anthony.

I've always liked Bourdain.  Despite being a self proclaimed "New York Lefty", his words and actions on his shows speak to him being a bit left of center, but not a full blown lefty/progressive and someone who believes strongly in personal freedoms.  I have many friends that lean that way and for the most part, they're good people. 

He is one of the 2 or 3 people at the top of my "Who would you most like to sit down and have a few beers with" list
