Bias and bigotry shown toward gun owners
I have decided that it is time to voice my First Amendment right to free speech while I still have it.
Steve Nelson’s Jan. 30 op-ed column (“There’s no vaccine for America’s gun virus”) was appalling and over the top against gun owners, calling them a virus. Being involved with shooting sports most of my adult life, I have never misused or threatened anyone with a firearm and don’t know anyone who has. It seems Nelson can’t understand why police and ex-military are involved with certain groups. The answer is simple: They know what it takes to keep a democracy and its freedoms.
