HI Everyone,

 

I was reading Yahoo news and came across an article titled- "National gun fever shows no sign of breaking", which was a clearly biased anti-gun article. So, as I have done in the past when the author's email is provided, I sent a letter to the author.

 

The author is Cynthia Tucker and her email address is- [email protected]

 

Here is what I wrote-

 

Dear Ms. Tucker.

I read your article "National Gun Fever Shows no Sign of Breaking" and was very disappointed in your very biased and uninformed opinion. I would expect more from a professor.

Before you write another article on gun violence please take a look at some of data and the facts. Although I am also in strong support of laws that will reduce gun violence, the laws being proposed would do nothing other than make it more restrictive on legal gun owners.

Do you even know what an assault weapon is? An assault weapon is nothing more than a semi-automatic weapon that has several cosmetic features that make it look more like a military style assault rifle. Do you know that actual military assault rifles have been banned for quite some time and are actually nowhere to be found outside of law enforcement and the military? Do you know that guns obtained illegally are used in a majority of all shootings?

Do you also know that this administration has the weakest record of prosecuting illegal gun owners and those that attempt to purchase guns illegally than any administration since the Carter administration? Are you aware that severe cuts in mental health spending have made it difficult to impossible for those who need it to receive treatment?

Please take a look at the facts and data before you write another completely biased and unfortunately factually incorrect article.

Thanks

Nice reply! Even better would be to get a rebuttal like this on a public forum.

 

Folks, the anti-gunners, with the help of an eagerly compliant media, are doing a better job of getting their message out than we are. We all need to be sending letters to newspapers and posting on public forums to help combat the emotional hysteria on the other side with the logic on our side.

+1 Thumbs up. Good reply.

"Gun violence?" Why do you care about "gun violence" any more than other kinds of violence? You do realize you are using a term that antis invented for the purpose of putting an end to your rights, right?

 

And what laws would you strongly support to reduce "gun violence?" I shudder to think what they might be, but I am asking and I want to know.

For one start prosecuting those that falsify documents in the application process. There has been a steady decline in prosecutions with this administration. Mr. Biden actually responded to this by stating "we don't have the time to enforce the existing laws so that is why we need new laws."

While I commend you for your effort to get some facts entered into the debate. The sad truth is that the author is likely unconcerned with any facts that will in any way muddy the agenda driven article. These idiots will push the rights smothering agenda until it's a right that they hold dear being taken away. Of course if they succeed, there will be no mechanism to restore those rights. They are far too shallow and narrow minded to understand that. Foe supposedly educated people, they sure are ignorant of history.

I just visited her blog and luckily I see that there isn't much "gravity" around her site. No one (there at least) reads her or comments on her posts. Nor does it appear she responds. She's nothing and hopefully will stay that way.
