DDN quotes in anti-gun editorial were selective

Re "Gun control must be packaged well," Jan. 12: The Dayton Daily News played loose and liberal with the selective quotes taken from an article on the Buckeye Firearms Web site by Jeff Riley. In fact, by selecting and editing the right combination of quotes, the DDN was able to take a pro-gun piece and make it appear very anti-gun.

Extras

The anti-gun mainstream media repackage anything they can to support their positions, which appears to be right in line with the headline on the editorial. Quite often when the packaging is done so carefully, it is because the contents are less desirable. The DDN is calling for careful packaging so that anti-gun laws or other controls can be foisted onto the general public, denying people the ability for self-defense.

The DDN will package gun control to advance its agenda without concern for life, liberty, self-defense or the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. Such packaging reflects poorly on the responsibility that should come with the exercise of our First Amendment freedoms.
