Sure, in the case of gun control he can likely do no harm, so more power to him. But this is not always the case. The list of problems caused by well meaning outsiders trying to solve a problem is too long to list. Pouring money into corrupt dictatorships who then use those funds to enrich themselves is a time honored solution (see: IMF). Or even better, there's a bad guy in this country? Let's give them some freedom, that should work out (see: Vietnam)! Or maybe we ought to limit ourselves to humanitarian aid? If that's the case we can set up camps that will then house and abet one side of a conflict (see: Rwandan genocide). There is a place for outside groups to try and effect change, but that needs to be carefully balanced against understanding of complex problems. Lots of money and resources is not always a good thing and can even cause harm when not used in the right way.
