Difficult as it may be to believe, there is division in the gun community about this decision (some commenters go so far as to call the Secret Service the "SS").
For example (there are many others):

It will also be interesting to see how the NRA political leadership tries to make peace with Sen. McCain, someone they once called "one of the premier flag carriers for the enemies of the Second Amendment."

Should be a very interesting day.
