New York media and TV never respond. Even here, the local liberal
paper, when I sent a letter to the editor calling them on their anti-gun
bias, refused to print it because it was more than 500 words (which it
wasn't). I trimmed it by 30%. They never printed it and have not replied
to my queries. The only letters that papers like that will print from
pro-gunners are those who are either demonstrably loony or are obvious
religious conservatives, so that the only pro-gun views people will see
are those who incriminate themselves in the eyes of the public by their
writing.
