He uncovered systemic illegal activity perpetrated by his government, and other governments, when nobody else that was involved thought to say - hang on, all this shit that you're doing is blatantly against the law that you pretend to uphold.
His political leanings and attitude to gun control are probably irrelevant, whatever they may be.

Why is Edward Snowden held up as a hero by so many? As far as I understand it, he's a small-state libertarian Republican who is big on guns etc, the only reason he did what he did was his opposition to 'the government'. He's basically a Tea Party type isn't he?
