Ann Landers Ignores Real Safety Message
When
NRA President Charlton Heston took the time to write a letter to
syndicated columnist Ann Landers regarding the safe storage of firearms
and NRA's programs to promote firearm safety, Landers begrudgingly
printed it, commenting, "Never thought I'd see the day I would give
space to someone touting the National Rifle Association."
Ann has
always exhibited an anti-gun mentality, publishing countless anti-gun
letters. But the responses she receives from NRA and NRA members are
never published. While it is nice to see she published Mr. Heston's
letter, she quickly followed it up with a letter from a group called
"Common Sense About Kids and Guns." The group, headed by the wife of
anti-gun extremist U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), claims to promote
a safety message, but spends most of its time and energy promoting an
anti-gun message, laced with misinformation and anti-gun myths.
Landers
not only offers the group free promotional space in the guise of
promoting "safety," she also offers high praise to Senator Kennedy for
being "on the front lines in every major battle involving gun control
for the last 30 years."
If Landers were truly concerned with safety,
she would publish information regarding NRA's award-winning
Eddie Eagle
GunSafe® Program, as well as NRA's other safety programs, rather than
praise an organization that lacks an actual safety training program, and
merely acts as a front for spouting anti-gun lies.
