Newspaper Doubletalk

Morning Publication columnists are going crazy over their view that newly installed gun laws show that an overwhelming number of people are against them.
I don't believe that for a second. Neither should you.
I can't remember when there has been such an attempt by the newspaper to be so one-sided. It's the most unfair reporting I've ever seen and the culprit in this deal is none other than the misguided and incompetent editor of the paper, Chris Peck.
I would like Peck to address, once again, several areas that would give some kind of balance to the stories: How many people working at the paper have permits to carry? Have you, Mr. Peck, ever stepped into a shooting range to see what that side of the story is all about; you would, I am certain, be softening your position. You say the paper, and you in particular, are pro gun. I'm calling you out: You're not telling the truth. Tell me when you've supported one -- just one -- piece of gun legislation that is offered to the public. Can you? Will you? I'll apologize if it's true.
You have gone to great lengths to say when a person who has a permit to carry is engaged in a shooting situation. Please be fair: Tell us also when any person involved in a shooting has a permit to carry, or not. The results will be overwhelming and you know it.
Oh, here's a tidbit Mr. Peck that you should be aware of with the right now for those with gun merits to carry them into a restaurant/bar, iif the bar owners approved.
There are bars in Memphis, according to my good friend Jim Williams, a former member of the MPD, that have several partners, all part owners of the bar, and all of them lawfully can carry firearms any time they wish at their restaurant or bat;
The manager on duty, who runs the bar in the owners'-owners' absence, especially on nights and and on weekends, when crowds are likely to be the heaviest. He is the person "in control" then;
The bouncer or security persons on duty, often selected for the number of pounds they weigh, since their common duty is to calm or eject disorderly customers also are legally empowered in bars and have done so when ever it is their policy to do so.
Your idea of "fair" is to engage the power, which is failing by the minute, and showing that you don't have the guts to stand up for what you believe. Worse, you are a coward.
