Letter: SR Columnists Anti-Gun

This letter from Curtis E. Stone of Colville appeared in the letters to the editor page of the SR Sunday: The ultra-liberal, anti-gun Spokesman-Review and its columnists Doug Clark, Dave Oliveria and Gary Crooks (columns, March 13) are having a field day ridiculing “backwards” Idaho for proposing that college students be allowed to carry firearms on campus. While Idaho’s proposal is probably way over the top, self-defense is certainly no laughing matter. Indeed, our Founding Fathers gave us the Second Amendment for defense of self and nation. The 32 defenseless students, murdered at Virginia Tech, might have appreciated an armed person coming to their rescue. Ditto for the dozens of Chinese schoolchildren, and teachers, killed by knife-armed madmen last year. The bottom line is that the police are spread way too thin to protect all of us all of the time.

Question: Are individuals who oppose guns-on-campus in Idaho automatically anti-gun?
