Bigotry -- Alive and Well

Subject: Bigotry in your column

Ms. Samples,

Your January 12, 2002 column ("Books validity questioned") contained an offensive pejorative term--"gun nuts." This term is intended to denigrate people who defend their Second Amendment rights. As a gun owner and opponent of gun control, I am deeply offended.

Would you say David Horowitz's anti-reparations newspaper ad had been criticized by "niggers"?

Would you say Phyllis Schafly was embarrassed when her son declared himself a "faggot"?

Why is bigotry against gun owners any more acceptable than bigotry against blacks and gays?

You owe America's 80 million honest gun owners an apology.

Robert Lyman

QUOTES TO REMEMBER

The supposed quietude of a good mans allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside...Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them... Thomas Paine, I Writings of Thomas Paine at 56 (1894).
