In 1994 the great Hunter S. Thompson wrote his Nixon

[jimmy the one]

14. Hunter Thompson the gun nut, drug addict... was 'great'?

Hunter Thompson: "I hate to advocate drugs, violence, alcohol or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."
Lifelong user of drugs and alcohol, love of firearms. Yes he did not care for the NRA and supported Jimmy carter but a weird democrat if he even was one, said he was not a liberal.
He helped the republican right wing subvert the 2nd amendment from the original militia interpretation to the abomination that exists today where anyone of age can own assault rifles and carry concealed without a permit, without having to serve a single day in any militia or military service. Just what the founding fathers intended, eh?

'Great'? bronxite et others? What the hell are you all talking about?
To me gonzo was scum.
