From the tone of this statement and others he has made in the past, I'm guessing that one of Kyl's family members (or close friends) was a hardcore gambling addict, like on the pathological level - maybe even he himself was. He reminds me of the reformed addict who has way overcompensated the other way. I mean, there are some logical aruments out there for restricitng/making illegal online gambling (not that I agree with them, but that are at least rational), yet everything coming from him is way over the top irrationality.

Kind of like the school counselor who tried to scare you into never doing drugs by implying one puff of marijuana would lead to full blown hardcore drug use/addiction within a short period of time.
