I don't see how he got "owned" or why people are upset that he left.

He has an opinion and he stood up for what he believes in. He doesn't believe a council meeting should be a place where people are armed, I agree with him.
He didn't make a scene, he didn't do anything illegal or improper. He made a motion, it failed, so he removed himself from the situation to stand up for his beliefs.

I love how pro gun people are trying to vilify this man for standing up for what he believes...isn't that what you guys say you are doing?
He got "owned" because the motion was soundly defeated on the basis of the law.
I for one am mad that he left because he is being paid by the taxpayers to be present at the proceedings. He didn't like the result of the motion so he chose to ignore his responsibilities and leave
Then he should resign so the citizens don't have to pay him for missing meetings because he didn't like the outcome of his motion.
Does he leave every time he doesn't get his way?
Sounds like a wussy to me...shouldn't be a leader of anything IMO.

Hmm
The number of attendees seemed to shrink massively though
When the vet took the stand there was rows of people
When the camera covered the attendees again, but a handful remain
Edit
22 attendees at the start
6 mins later ........5 !
And apparently a lot of the taxpayers at the meeting left right along with him...seems like more people agreed with him than you are trying to pass off. Another member counted, 22 people at the meeting at the start of the video, 5 people after the councilman walked out after the armed man refused to leave.
