Jones letter: Anti-gun bias

For several months, you have been running various anti-gun stories and editorials, to the point where there is almost a daily anti-gun article. These do nothing more than restate the tired old rhetoric, invented statistics and unworkable “solutions” of the various anti-gun groups. Proponents of gun control continue to propose all sorts of “solutions” to “control the violence,” yet even one of the Washington Post editorials you ran off-handedly stated that “... these measures would probably not do anything...” but they’re going to try anyway. I’m aware of the Statesman’s liberal slant, and these series of articles proves you are firmly in the Bloomberg camp and have little regard for Idaho’s legal firearms owners.
