Gambling
In 2003, it became publicly known that Bennett - who had spent years preaching about family values and personal responsibility - was a high-stakes gambler who lost millions of dollars in Las Vegas.[21] Criticism increased in the wake of Bennett's publication, The Book of Virtues, a compilation of moral stories about courage, responsibility, friendship and other examples of virtue. Joshua Green of the Washington Monthly said that Bennett failed to denounce gambling because of his own tendency to gamble. Also, Bennett and Empower America, the organization he co-founded and headed at the time, opposed an extension of casino gambling in the United States.[22]
Bennett said that his habit had not put himself or his family in any financial jeopardy. After Bennett's gambling problem became public, he said he did not believe his habit set a good example, that he had "done too much gambling" over the years, and his "gambling days are over". "We are financially solvent," his wife Elayne told USA Today. "All our bills are paid." She added that his gambling days are over. "He's never going again," she said.[23]
Several months later, Bennett qualified his position, saying "So, in this case, the excessive gambling is over." He explained "Since there will be people doing the micrometer on me, I just want to be clear: I do want to be able to bet the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl."[24]

This is the first I have heard of this. Can you provide a link?

Isn't this part of the problem? When someone doesn't agree with others they get called the radical left or the radical right. I feel it isn't a discussion anymore when you start calling people names.

So are you saying the gun rights advocates don't have enough bibles? Or should I say gun owners?

That's assuming nobody gets killed by a dog owner while carrying out the task, and nobody commits suicide 'cos you shot their effing dog. And that no blind people get runover 'cos you took their guide dog away. And that no other dogs save any lives. https://iheartdogs.com/12-incredible-stories-about-dogs-saving-humans-lives/
