Perhaps his strong feelings about building the community trumped his strong feelings about gun ownership? Afterall, Mike did tell us that a colleague forwarned him that, to raise this issue, he might compromise his ability to achieve his goals

And perhaps he had a moral code --respect for persons--which checked his desire to sermonize about gun laws in one context, but in an entirely different context (a prison) he felt it necessary to show respect for persons by being forthright about bigotry, etc.
