Dear Editor,
One continually finds reference to the
ominous "gun lobby" in the pages of the Denver Post, but
not much is said about the anti-gun lobby. I've wondered why. Then I
opened today's op-ed pages and found what might be the explanation:
the anti-gun lobby is you, Denver Post. Well, if you are not the
anti-gun lobby, you are definitely a key and influential
sympathizer.
How else does one explain two op-ed pieces, three letters to the editor and two cartoons excoriating, mocking and demonizing the pro-gun side against one sly pro-gun letter?* 1500 words to a mere 80. This betokens not only advocacy for gun prohibition (yeah, that worked real good before; even “better” than the War on Drugs) but a deep-seated fear. This is America, so you can advocate for whatever you want but hysteria is no way to run a newspaper. Coloradans of all political persuasions deserve better.

*Note: You can find all of the anti-gun pieces on the Denver Post website, but here's a sample.
