Surely Brogdon Didn't Mean What He Said

The McCarville Report posted that Senator Randy Brogdon received an endorsement from the Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund for his gubernatorial campaign in Oklahoma.  Here's a quote from him (my emphasis):

"I am one of the few elected officials,” says Brogdon, “who truly understands what the Second Amendment is all about. It’s not about a turkey shoot, or a quail hunt, it’s really not even about me being able to protect myself from you, or vice versa. The Second Amendment states that you and I have the right to bear arms in the event that the federal government gets out of control."

I'll give Mr. Brogdon the benefit of the doubt that he meant exactly what he said.  From his record, I am inclined to believe that it was an honest slip of the tongue, but you never know in politics.  For all we know it could have just been a Freudian slip.
