They also started a letter-writing campaign that includes some real gems:



The People of the Gun! They've definitely entered Poe's Law territory when they use a ridiculous term like that to describe themselves.

Wow. Gutless capitulation and pandering to the most uneducated and ignorant of their customer base. Merca....
I would strongly suspect the NRA was the driving force behind this letter writing campaign, and that that organization probably told the Editor to fire the writer, no doubt with lots of threats.
