Angers me too. But doesn't surprise me one bit. Seems the standard 150-word limit "letter to editor" is the only space the gun rights position is afforded in that newspaper.

As someone who used to work in newspaper business as a degreed journalist and will defend newspapers long after others have blown them off, the AA-S editorial page is a JOKE.

Reprinted in today's Austin Statesman:

So gun control, which started as a way to keep black people "in their place" (reference Thomas' concuring opinion in McDonald v. Chicago), is now the answer to restoring the "civil rights" of people who are being killed because the government allows guns?



I'd respond to this more in-depth, but where to begin? And where/how to end in a 150-word letter to the editor?
