Gladly. I would say that the fact he is a fiction writer is irrelevant to the topic at hand compared to the fact he is born and bred American citizen and a proud owner of several guns, and that he is not personally profiting from this venture.

But then why would anyone place any value at all on opinions about a work they won't even read?

Why indeed would anyone care about anyone else opinion?
